The repairs have been carried out in two different manners, one of which has used small pins of wood to strengthen the joins. Both have repairs to the fore ends one with two restuck cracks, one with a small spliced piece. There are touches of re-browning to the locks and barrels in small places, The engraving looks like it could have been refreshed and the browning applied and aged in at the same point.The guns look like they have been left unattended for quite some time and there is fresh corrosion underneath the barrels which would easily clean off.The case has damages to three of the corners, two of which are chipped, one has been restuck. There are a lot of scuffs and marks generally.

Holmes of Liverpool 16 bore percussion double barrel sporting gun, with 28 inch damascus barrels decorated with floral device and double gold band lines, scroll engraved locks, finely chequered figured stock with vacant escutcheon, carved with cheekpiece, pineapple finial silver ramrod pipe and steel scrolling trigger guard, fitted into a period case complete with oil bottle stamped W. Richards Liverpool, a letter flask stamped Bishop Bond Street, and a copper and brass powder flask stamped C&J.W. Hawksley.Section 58(2) Antique /obsolete calibre, can be owned without a licence.Condition report: The case is generally good with the wear and tear of use. Three of the corners are chipped, the lock has been changed and there are two keyholes in the same spot due to the fitting of a previous lock. This can be seen in the second image online. The gun weighs just over 3.4kgs. The length of pull from the rear trigger is 13 3/4 inches. The stock of the gun is generally good with a pleasing patina and nice crisp chequering. There are some dents and scratches from use as well as very minor shrinkage splits around the lock plate areas but the stock is structurally sound and free from damage or repair. The silver barrel wedge plates are a little loose but hold in place. If you were to shoot this gun they might need securing more firmly. The metalwork has very light pitting which is heavier on the tip of the hammers and on the but plate. The barrels have some dark stained pitting patches externally. The ring when tapped and the central rib looks secure with no loose seams. The bores have some dark pitting patches similar to the exterior of the barrels. This does not look too deep but not pitting that could be removed.
Mid 18th century Flintlock Queen Anne pistol by Walker of London, with 6 inch 20 bore turn off barrel, double line engraved action, carved stock inlaid with silver wire and fitted with vacant escutcheon and mask capped pistol grip.Section 58(2) Antique /obsolete calibre, can be owned without a licence. Condition report: Action works correctly with a strong main and frizzen spring. The top jaw and screw look like they have been replaced as they do not have the overall fine pitting that the rest of the gun has. There is some silver wire missing from either side of the base of the grip near the mask. There is also a small section of silver wire lifting from the design just below the cartouche. The stock has a few knocks and marks but nothing defacing. The wood has shrunk around the fit to the barrel/ action and there is a gap visible. The gun has been cleaned with silver polish and ideally wants cleaning up properly with all the residue removed for it to look its best.
