Greetings,
I was wondering any of you guys could tell me some information on pistols used in the late 1700s. I would also be interested in dueling pistols (this is to help with my book, as some of you already know).
If you could tell me where I might find the info, it would be greatly appreciated.
I also want to thank everyone who helped in last time with dueling with rapiers.
Anyone who can help in this matter will be thanked by including you in the acknowledgements of my book.
Sincerely,
Ingela H.

Im sure much more knowledgable people will follow but I just thought I'd throw up a few pics of some of the ones I like. Most of these are mid 1700 scottish steel pistols. Dont know a whole lot about them but many here do:

Ingela,
If you're interested in info on English duelling pistols, a book was published on this subject in the late 70s or early 80s. I think that it was called "The English Duelling Pistol". Try a search on Abebooks, or head for eBay.
