Good; very good.
They are really 'furchterregend', by the way

Absolutely beautiful pieces for me to be envious of! Love the leonine faces...

A further Queen-Anne-style pistol by JENKINS/London with a normal sidelock. Buttcap, escutcheon, sideplate and triggerguard are made of silver without hallmarks.
Total length is 365mm

You show very good taste with these recent acquisitions Corrado!

Lovely, lovely pistols, and I have not seen that mask before.
I think the Queen Anne one of the most elegant ever produced.

I have not looked up Boughton, but would this be Charles Haywood, Apprenticed to Richard Lawrence in 1710?

I have a sad old but early William Bailes with the same sideplate but in brass.
It has the grotesque mask you show on your second pistol.
It would appear these pistols have private proof marks.
Thank you for showing these. they are wonderful and inspiring!!

Richard.

Yes, you are right, this is a pistol made by Charles Haywood, apprenticed to Richard Lawrence in 1710. One of the characteristics of these early Queen Annes is the triggerguard with a front final and a backstrap screwed to the butt. Later types have a totally different triggerguard.
You'd like to see more?

By all means, Yes!

Are the triggers off -set to the right?
Again, beautiful pistols.

No, the trigger is exactly in the middle. Next pistol is by David Wynn of London, one of the most productiv makers of Queen Anne pistols.
