J W Edge of Manchester Double barrelled, double trigger Pistol .50 Muzzleloader

A lovely Howdah Pistol by J W Edge of Manchester. Great patina, great walnut wood. Superb engraving. Completely intact. No polishing of the wood or metal by the current owner. It doesn't look like it has been messed around with at all. It's a fabulous example, very tactile and if you have a slot on your FAC, you can fire it as a Muzzleloading .50.

It makes a great talking point and is a lovely display item. Likewise, when I did take it to the club everyone wanted a go shooting it. Only a few had the chance, but it's great fun for that too.

It was checked before firing by a RFD who is also a Gunsmith, and it was super safe to shoot. It has only been shot by the owner on a few occasions and now is part of a small collection. Hopefully, the pictures do it some justice. It's a great thing to have and there aren't many around. It has historic value as well as everything else associated with such an iconic firearm of its time and for its purpose.

I am open to reasonable offers.
