An Untouched Flintlock Cannon-Barrelled Pistol by Parkes of London. With brass three-stage turn-off cannon barrel, stamped below with Birmingham proofs, foliate engraved brass frame signed London on a foliate scroll to the right and Parkes on a foliate scroll to the left, sliding trigger safety catch, slab-sided walnut butt, in completely untouched condition, the brass is almost black, finding guns in this condition these days is incredibly difficult.
