Cal. 41. NSN. Bbl. 10 3/8". This interesting pistol appears to be assembled from parts with several handmade pieces included. Generally, the lock is not a good fit with the handmade stock. The hammer has been aggressively filed and the gun was possibly assembled by a Cherokee gunsmith. The octagon bbl. has a bladed front sight and is stamped near the bbl. tang "SALOLI" which, according to the consignor, means "squirrel" in Cherokee. The lock is stamped "LONDON WARRANTED" and has rudimentary decorations. The brass trigger guard, along with the thimble and the iron entry thimble, appear hand-hammered. The stock appears handmade, possibly with a draw shave. CONDITION: all iron has a dark patina. The lock and hammer show significant filing. The stock has a small crack between the side screw and the bbl. channel. The lock does hold both full and half cock. Fair bore. (01-26171/BF). ANTIQUE. $500-900.
