1854 Transport Corps Issue Percussion Pistol

A good percussion pistol with its lock signed by Blake & Co. London and dated, 1854. This commercial pistol is a modified Tower pattern, which is attributed to the Transport Corps, an organisation that operated in the Crimea. The Crowned "T.C." marking probably refers to the Transport Commisariat.

Offered in working order and with a strong action, this pistol is in solid condition with good walnut furniture where only the ironwork has overall surface pitting, resulting in its speckled appearance.

An interesting historic example.
