It’s like a cross between a Manton of London and the Clough of Bath.Hi Garry, as far as I can work out the word on top of the barrel is LONDON. the barrel is 6.5 inches internal length. So the mystery now is, this appears to be a Clough and Sons of Bath pistol circa 1830-40 but with a london barrel. maybe a former gunmaker from bath went to london and made his own pistols? also on the inside of the trigger guard is the number 7, just below the rear most screw hole.
Also the flash protector around the nipple is enclosed from both front and rear, in the photos online it appears Clough pistols are less enclosed??
