Charola y Anitua Automatic Pistol.
A rare opportunity to own one of the few Auto Pistols that can be owned legally in the U.K. as an antique curio without a license and NOT de-activated. The Charola y Anitua was designed in Spain around 1894 to directly compete with the C1896 Mauser Auto Pistol. It fired a unique 7mm Charola bottle necked cartridge, unfortunately this was not as powerful as the Mauser cartridge and it did not secure any military contracts, as a consequence it was unsuccessful commercially. The manufacture, which had occurred in both Spain and Belgium, had ceased by 1904.
The Charola is rarely seen in the U.K. unlike the more common "Bergman" auto pistol.
This example has mother of pearl grips and is in very good condition.

Cased Kerr Revolver, with accessories.
A rare example of the enigmatic Kerr revolver made even more rare by being cased with original accessories.
These revolvers were designed by James Kerr the superintendant of the London Armoury Co. around 1855. They were very popular with British and Indian Army Officers who were to be stationed in remote areas of the British Empire. They were extremely reliable and could be repaired easily by local gunsmiths who would find the lock mechanism very similar to that found in a simple back action lock shotgun, which at the time was common all over the world.
The revolver is in 54 bore and is in excellent condition with clear crisp markings, a tight action, good bore and traces of original finish.
The correct, 19th century oak pistol case bears the label of the London Armoury Co. and contains a Hawksley flask, 54 bore Adams type mould, a pewter oil bottle, turnscrew, nipple wrench and a cap tin by Joyce.
