Tingle .44 cal. cap and ball pistol

Great thread! Lots of details about a not-so-mainstream BP pistol. Mine has the 'prospector' engraving both sides of receiver but is marked "Hopkins and Allen" by it's Italian manufacturer.
Oh, how I wish that were true. Nonetheless a great shooter once an elevated rear sight was fitted for a reasonable POI.

Not HC but an interesting modern shooter. I'll bet its a whoop and a woller to shoot on the line.

Same here. His rifles and pistols were high quality at very low prices, even for the day. And, they were consistent winners on the range.

I saw three of that style pistol for sale at Friendship last week. I can't state that they were Tingle's, but they were there.
