Both GWO. In original brass mounted mahogany case with pull-up brass carry handle with owner’s name inscribed. Lined in green baize, accessories include clearing/loading rod, powder flask, balls, pincer mould, patches, pan brush & turn screw. Leslie Martin Additional Notes: This pair are an enigma, probably more due to the clients wishes than to George Turner's! Their build date has to be between 1810 & 1815 as: (1) 'French' cock only introduced c.1810. (2) Rounded lock plate rear only used c. 1815 on. But retro features are (1) high point chequering (out of style by 1805). (2) gold vent & lines (out of style by 1807). (3) silver fore-end (out of style, along with silver furniture, by 1800). Supporting the date: (1) 3 lines of breech decoration (although Fowler used this since 1800) (2) unlifted rainproof (& spoon shaped) gold lined pan. (3) c. 8 other pre-1800 dating 'duelling' factors. These have the feeling of 'jewellery'* as ordered by an English(?) client who specified safeties, gold vent & lines + silver fore-end, against the Irish trend at that time. Effectiveness (other than the contentious safety!!!!?) is not compromised; breech is Nock Patent, and locks detente. Lack of set trigger (in my opinion!) supports the effectiveness of no practical value with a heavy barrelled dueller. (Though interesting to note use of set trigger in perc 'duellers' late 1820s to c. 1840. But was this a recognition that these were now target pistols rather than duellers?) *But why blank escutcheon? W.L.M. 2/2/09 (2009). Bottom line/Conclusion confer date on 'New factors rather than old. Reason: the new can't pre-invent themselves, whereas the old guard could have dragged themselves on 5/10/maybe 15 years? [Was the change in Society following the Union an influencing factor - or did G.B. makers follow suit?]

Tomlinson of Dublin An Irish 15-Bore Flintlock Target/Dueller Pistol by Tomlinson, Dublin, c.1810. Swamped octagonal 9” barrel signed ‘TOMLINSON – DUBLIN’ to top flat, with single gold band to breech, chisel engraved breech tang with rear-sight. Engraved stepped lock signed ‘TOMLINSON’, with engraved swan-neck cock, semi-waterproof pan and frizzen roller.

Wisdom of Drogheda An Irish 15-Bore Travelling Percussion Pistol by Wisdom, Drogheda, c.1824-1825. Damascus 5” octagonal twist barrel, slightly swamped, stamped with Irish census L-Y 112, chisel engraved breech tang featuring Martial trophy and incorporating rear-sight. Flat lock engraved with chevron border, scrolls, and signed ‘WISDOM’, 2 bents, with scroll engraved hammer. Figured walnut full stock with chequered grip, engraved steel butt-cap and engraved steel t/guard with Martial trophy to the bow and pineapple finial. Steel ramrod pipes and horn tipped wooden ramrod. Retaining some overall colour. 9½” overall. GWO. Leslie Martin notes: Only 2 bents, but then this is all you would expect if it as originally conceived as a flintlock. The frizzen spring mount has been expertly filled in, and at least some of the engraving done after this. I.e., it could have been completed as a Flint, but then converted, with additional engraving, in particular the foliage in the position where the frizzen spring was. But it could also have been made up as a perc from the outset, using available flint parts. JM was the barrel forger. His name has only ever appeared on flintlocks to date, but as he appears.com to have worked until 1830, there is no reason why his name shouldn't be on an early percussion. At first sight the hammer looks incongruous, but - forgiving Wisdom for using an English style hammer (perhaps the Irish style hadn't evolved in the late 1820's!) - the foliage on the hammer & that on the lock do tie up. Condition of the gun is too good for the hammer to have been damaged and replaced. And the screw is original, so not ‘lost’. The lock border engraving matches the band on the barrel breech. The lock border engraving is present at the removed/missing portion of the fence/pan BUT is not present under the remaining stub. Thus, applied after the fence/pan cut back for percussion use. The petal/ leaf engraving on the lock tail matches the engraving on the drum. Conclusion: made as a percussion using largely flintlock parts c. 1824 – 1825. Its importance is (i) in the utilization of flintlock parts to produce an early percussion (one result being that the action was limited to two bents) and (ii) its quality & condition. See Notes 20/3/14. Barrel forger is JM (John Murphy Dublin, 1814-30). Its source was reputed to be a lost collection from a house in Holland Park, London. (See also Rigby # 10271)

Robert McCormick of Belfast An Immaculate & Original Pair of Irish 34-Bore Duelling Pistols by McCormick, Belfast, 1793. NO.69. Inscribed ‘AD1793 No69’ to the undersides of the barrels.

Figured ½ stocks with silver fore-ends, chequered grips, decorated but vacant shield escutcheons, border engraved silver wedge plates, deeply chiselled steel butt-caps, beautifully formed & decorated trigger bows pineapple finials, ramrod pipes and horn tipped ebonised ramrods. 15-3/4” overall. Original mahogany case with brass carry handle and oval plaque signed ‘Lieu. J.G. Ranken’. Lined in green baize with accessories including clearing/loading rod, powder flask, pincer mould and turn screw. Leslie Martin Additional Notes. My research so far on the original owner points to a George Ranken of Belfast who is described as an official serving in the East India Company (this reference was in connection with his marriage to a banker's daughter in Edinburgh in March 1799, three years after he purchased this pair.) His father appears to have been a Belfast banker, magistrate, and Commanding Officer (Captain) of the Belfast Yeomanry Infantry (1798) whose name also appears in connection with the Belfast Cavalry (1797). No doubt his son also participated (as a Lieutenant). Perhaps they were his originally? The Ranken's Belfast address was Richmond Lodge, Malone Road; schooling was at (Belfast) Royal Academy. Another branch of the family appears to have been Brewers in Belfast & Newtownards - doubtless a lucrative trade! There are those who question the rarity of these, but then they can't point to another Belfast made pair by McCormick in private hands, although they exist. (Viz Atkinson's book - attributed to Douglas Burnell (‘Bunny’) Tubbs & owned by Tubbs, which are in fact this pair, No.69), plus the silver mounted pair in Holland). There is a later Dublin made pair illustrated in one of Akehurst's books with a similar Chippendale case, so obviously McCormick went against convention and stayed with this uncommon style. Attractive and stronger. See ‘A Directory of the Early Irish Gunmakers’ by D.J.W. Stroud, pages 37/39 colour plates.

Dublin Museum and a pair by Tomlinson inscribed 'Invented by T. Pattison'. Drum rotates through 120 degrees from open to close. Very large bore only equalled by the Clarke pair. It was Bonhams who surmised that MP stood for Mark Pattison, but nothing attributed to him before the late 1820’s. T Pattison 1800-06, J Pattison 1810-27, his son Mark late 1820’s on. Similar MP on locks of the 1802 dated T Pattison & Co. Why only 4 known to be in existence? – Fragile, didn’t survive? Didn’t work? Exploded in use? Too Expensive? See ‘A Directory of the Early Irish Gunmakers’ by D.J.W. Stroud, p.226 & colour plates.
