This is a Pattern 1863 Whitworth sold out to the Trade and marketed by Hollis after the bayonet bar had been removed. Apart from that, this appears to be a good sound P'63 at a reasonable price. If anyone buys it, please tell me the serial number, date and prefix letter to be found under the breech.

This is another Whitworth from his earliest production. It is #132 which was sold through Thomas Del Mar in London a few months ago. I have a note that the hammer head was broken and the hammer now on it may be a replacement. These early 39 inch Whitworths are rare. The price is not too bad either.
