Another pocket pistol from c.1730-50

[NeilUK]

If I may be allowed to join in: here is a pocket pistol by J. Jackson from first half of 18th century. Not Queen Anne style and fairly plain, but I like it; bought at auction in Edinburgh this summer. No decoration or proof marks visible (perhaps on the under side of the barrel).

What is the caliber and length of this pistol?

[NeilUK]

Overall length = 200mm, barrel 86mm. Bore is 12mm but cut internally for a barrel key, to unscrew it for loading.

Corrado,
Very nice pistol, and good maker!

[NeilUK]

Thank you,Richard, for that information on the likely maker of my pistol. I had found some Jacksons but none who seemed to fit.
Kind regards,
Neil
