Description

THOMAS BIRD CONVERTED BOXLOCK PISTOL
Boxlock pistol by British maker Thomas Bird, ca. 1798, marked "Bird" on one side plate with "London" on the other, with a clever fold-away trigger. 6 1/4" long overall. The pistol has been converted from a boxlock to a percussion cap system. Action is tight. Thomas Bird set up business his business in London from 1798-9, then moved to Birmingham where he was in business alone from 1802-7 before joining Richard Ashmore. Thus, this pistol is one of his very earliest pieces.
