These pistols 8.5" Overall. French Cocks. c.1815. Stocks stamped with Longford registration numbers. (LD). Numbers not recorded. The marking of stocks on pistols with the 1843 registration numbers was a rare alternative from the normal barrel markings and on long guns the barrel and buttplate marking.
