Patrick Unsworth, The Early Purdeys, 1996, pp. 63-4 and 131, pl. 29The original owner, St. George Gore (1811-1878), later a baronet, was a valued Purdey client and an enthusiastic experimenter with all types of small-arms. His photograph used to hang in the Long Room at Audley House. It is strange that he should have gone to such lengths to acquire this unique pair of pistols, only to return them to Purdey, who resold them two months later. In 1862 they were part exchanged for a single gun. Recorded in Purdey's records as 'duelling pistols', this is the second earliest pair of this type to be made without ramrods. Despite their unusually short barrels they handle extremely well. Keith Neal (Collecting Duelling Pistols) describes their performance as follows: 'So perfectly is this weapon designed to fit the hand that one has only to look at the target and bring the weapon up to find the sights correctly aligned... This weapon is the culmination of all that was good in the design of the many types of weapons produced before. It is just the right weight; it is equally good for snap-shooting or slow target work and is by far the finest duelling pistol the author has ever handled.'For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
