WM TURVEY SCREW BARREL PISTOL, 1715-1730

Product Description

For sale is a Queen Anne screw barrel pistol made by William Turvey, a respected London gunsmith. It was probably made between 1715-1730. This pistol has seen use but not abuse, and shows honest wear and a wonderful, deep patina. The name on the lock plate is partial, but Turvey’s barrel stamp is clear (shown). The bore is about .62 caliber and shows oxidation. The barrel lug for screwing is worn, the main spring is weak, the tang screw is likely a replacement, and the trigger guard has an old repair (shown). Those issues aside, it is a respectable and affordable pistol that reflects the early 18th century. Kindly contact me if you wish further information. $1,400, plus $30 shipping and insurance in the USA.
