Exceptional opportunity to acquire Rigby sequentially registered Police flintlock carbines and pistols circa 1823. The two carbines and two pistols are all 16 bore and have 22 inch and 9 inch barrels. The locks have waterproof pans and roller bearing frizens and are marked W & J Rigby. The carbines have captive ramrods and are capable of accepting a bayonet. (The Pistol marked L-Y 9292 does not hold on full cock).

Notes:

What makes this group special is that as part of the Irish 1843 Registration Act these 4 guns were registered sequentially from "L-Y 9289” through "L-Y 9292” for Londonderry (Derry), marked on the flat ribs and on the butt plate tangs.

All the guns are in exceptional condition and have been well preserved.
