English boxlock cap and ball pistol made by Henry Richards in Newbury, England, c.1850.
Approx. .50 caliber single shot. 7.5 inches overall length. Good condition, everything works. No paperwork needed to purchase.
This pistol hung on the wall behind the bar of the Gold Hill Saloon in Gold Hill, Nevada, near Virginia City for many years.
The Gold Hill Hotel began as "The Riesen House"- popular notion is that it dates from 1859, but 1861 is more accurate. Gold Hill's population grew from 638 in August 1860 to 1,297 in July 1861, four months after the creation of the Nevada Territory.
Price: $345. I'll cover any shipping.
