Original British Octagonal Barrel Flintlock Overcoat Pistol by W.J. Acot of London – c. 1825

Original Item: Only One Available. W.J. Acot was a London gunsmith, who operated a shop from 1820 to 1830, not long after the Napoleonic wars. This is a very nice “Overcoat Pistol”, intended to be carried by Gentlemen on their way home. They were relatively small and easy to conceal, giving a good amount of protection in their day.
