A Pair of Late 18th Century Flintlock Officer's/Duelling Pistols by Robert Wogdon of London,...

Each has orange rust patching to the barrel and metalwork with some pitting. The blueing to the ramrod pipes, trigger guard and pommel is generally good. Minor scratches and bruising, but no cracks or breaks to the well figured walnut stock. One has a small piece of brass missing from around the threaded end of ramrod tip. The action of the other does not work properly. In good sleepy condiition. Would clean up nicely.

We are happy to provide Condition Reports to Prospective Buyers, but would welcome your request as soon as possible, preferably at least 48 hours before the Day of Sale.

We cannot guarantee a reply to any requests made within 48 hours of the start of the auction. The absence of a condition report from a lot does not mean that the lot is in perfect condition.

 A Condition Report is an honest expression of our opinion, not a statement of fact and is provided as a service to the Seller. All lots are available on public view ahead of an auction and we encourage people to see an item in person when possible.

Our Condition Reports are not prepared by professional conservators, restorers or engineers, and are prepared with the naked eye unless otherwise stated.

 Works are not examined out of the frame, unless specifically stated. We accept no liability for the opinions expressed in any Condition Report.

Tennants Auctioneers do not cover damage to gilded wood or plaster picture frames, or to picture frame glass whilst the item is in our possession.
