The principal characteristics of the lock place it within the type 2 category of the 17th Century English-locks as identified by Graeme Rimer in his study of the firearms at Littlecote House, subsequently expanded upon by Messrs Godwin, Cooper and Spencer in their published survey. See Goodwin, Cooper and Spencer, 2003. The leading terminal of the lock-plate on the present pistol is distinctly angular and as such is very unusual. A similar configuration exists in a musket of circa 1640, in the armoury at Dunster Castle, Somerset. Another comparable example is found in a pistol worn by Abraham Stanyan in his portrait (dated 1644), exhibited 'The Age of Charles I', the Tate Gallery, 1972 (op. cit. fig.73).

A Restored English Holster Pistol, 12ins browned barrel (possible replacement), browned action engraved crown over R, maker's name Farmer and 1743, hardwood stock and fore end, brass pommel and trigger guard, in non-contemporary box, with some tools and accessories The weapon appears to be in a refreshed condition and is potentially a made-up piece. The lock itself is marked with the maker's name and a date of 1744. The weapon cocks, holds and fires. The fit of the lock to the woodwork leaves something to be desired and is not very precise. The barrel looks to be a possible replacement and has no visible proof marks. The brass work is definitely reproduction and has been added at a later date. However the piece is a nice decorative item and is complete with a prefabricated box which is possibly an old cutlery box but certainly the gun fits well.
