One of a pair of officer's percussion pistols, 14 bore, 1822 (c)

This pistol was made in 1822 and possibly converted from flintlock to percussion in the late 1830s by James Wilkinson and Son. It belonged to General Sir Samuel James Browne VC, GCB, KCSI and was probably a family heirlooms since Browne did not join the Bengal Army until 1840.
