I am very sorry, but I have no pocket- or other pistol of Richard Wellford in my collection, nor can I find a foto of a pistol with his signature in my foto archive.
The next Queen Anne pistol is a piece made by Israel Segalas in London with silver mountings including a trigger guard also made of silver. The buttcap has nearly the same form as the pistol made by George Halfhide.
It is really very remarkable that the makers of Queen Anne pistols used a bridled pan in very early years when others still used unbridled pans in the middle of the 18. century.
