UPDATE - Dear Collectors & Colleagues,


As life is beginning to return to our new normal, we are working with customers to resume business as best we can. We will endeavour to process all orders quickly but some delay in delivery is still likely.

We are looking forward to seeing our customers at the forthcoming Kempton Park Arms Fair, 19th July 2020.

We remind everyone that this will pass and wish you all well.

Kind regards,

Ziggy M. Wesolowski

WD Issue Beaumont Adams Percussion Revolver c.1855
A genuine War Department contract 54 bore Beaumont Adams percussion revolver, with the top strap engraved, "London Armoury" (inscription visible but rubbed and worn).

With its original finish faded to a grey-brown patina, this Beaumont Adams revolver has crisp WD and broad arrow marks but has seen extensive military service. It nevertheless remains in working order but does exhibit some worn nipples.

Curiously, this pistol has some unusual decoration to the butt beneath the lanyard hole, where several circular indents have been carved. Two of them (or perhaps all of them at some point) had been set with glass "jewels". Whilst the exact purpose of this decorative embellishment is not known, it might lead to interesting speculation.

Certainly, it is uncommon to find any British martially marked revolvers from this period, as officers were expected to purchase their own. However, it was the NCO's that were issued with these, brought in for the Crimean War.

Overall, a very interesting martially marked British Army revolver.

Barrel length = 6 inches
Overall length = 12½ inches

Modelé An IX Maubeuge French Gendarmerie Pistol, c.1810
Consignment Sale: A rare .60 calibre Modelé An IX Marechausee flintlock pistol in untouched condition, made c.1810 at the government arsenal in Maubeuge. Intended for Gendarmerie issue, the pistol features a rounded profile to prevent snagging in the pocket or cape. All iron parts are darkly patinated and the lock still bears the etched arsenal name. Several official inspection stamps are evident, as are the inscribed initial "E.B."

Showing some signs of service wear, the flintlock is nevertheless in good sleepy condition, with dark age patina to the ironwork. The lock features a fully functioning lock and the pistol retains its original ramrod.

Overall, a rare example to find in untouched, collector condition.

Early S&W .44 Russian Double Action Revolver, c.1880
Consignment Sale: A very early Smith & Wesson .44 Russian, DA revolver, made c.1880. With the serial number being in the lower two-digit range, this example must be one of the first double-action revolvers to leave the S&W factory... Probably on the first day of production!

Totally original, this S&W revolver shows typical signs of carry and use, with the resultant commensurate wear, but no evidence of abuse or repair. It is in full working order, no doubt having been looked after professionally. With the factory blue having been replaced by age patina and the original wood smoothed by the grip of a grateful hand, this revolver is a great sleepy example.

Overall, very pleasing with its salt and pepper finish and light speckled pitting over the ironwork, yet crisp and clear S&W patent details to the top rib.
