    Thanks. I'm not too familiar with this type pistols, but I thought it was surely worth $250. Regarding your comment about the back action lock not being contemporary with D. Egg's life and career: This example and one other of known D. Egg pistols were posted on here. They both have back...

    Absolutely remarkable. I believe y'all have solved my riddle. The markings on the lockplate and on the top flat of the barrel of my pistol match this known D. Egg pistol exactly. Also, the lockplate screw layout matches exactly. It definitely appears to be a "D.EGG" piece. I really...

    Thanks very much. Could the maker have Rigby of Dublin? Their lockplate is the only one whose screw layout and spacing exactly matches those of my pistol.

    I was able to get the stock off. Can anyone identify these proof marks? I attached two pictures of the same thing, with different lighting. Thanks very much for your shared expertise.

    They were careful to state that all descriptions came from the consignor. LOL. Whatever.

    This Rigby pistol from Dublin, Ireland is the only one where the screws in the lockplate are spaced exactly like on my pistol. But my barrel is inscribed "London" ?? I think Rigby had a presence in London, but it was later, maybe 1860s.

    I did. It most resembles a Richard Fenton (London) piece, but it also looks like a Nock pistol and W. Rigby of Dublin Ireland. There's one screw that will not budge. Maybe I can take the trigger guard off and get some PB Blaster in there. I would really love to know the maker.

    I was hoping I hadn't paid too much. They also had a cased pair of Wilson dueling pistols, very fine, which I bid up to $2500 or so. I wasn't going to let somebody steal them. Somebody knew what they were worth. I think they went for $5000 or so.
