Tryon Philadelphia Single Shot Spring Bayonet Pocket Pistol (AH5842)

Tryon Philadelphia Single Shot Spring Bayonet Pocket pistol. Approximately .45 caliber percussion. This pistol was apparently made for or ordered by Tryon, marked on left side of frame. The turn off barrel is Birmingham, England proofed, with the popular English folding trigger. Spring Bayonet works perfectly as does the folding trigger 3 5/8” Barrel and 7” overall, hammer has the sliding safety. The grip is about excellent, with some wood shrinkage where it butts up to the frame. No looseness or wobble. Pistol has 98% blue. We have sold probably 100 or more Tryon guns but this is obviously made in England and ordered by Tryon for sale in the USA circa 1840-1850. The only one we have seen or heard of.
