A flintlock pistol
A flintlock pistol by Wogdon of London, engraved detail, marked Wodgon, 24cm long and a leather shot flask
Footnote:Robert Wogdon manufactured flintlock firearms from the 1760s onwards and was especially known for duelling pistols. The name Wogdon became synonymous with duelling, to the extent that duels in England were sometimes referred to as "a Wogdon affair". Wogdon formed a partnership in 1794 with John Barton, after which their pistols were signed Wogdon and Barton. The present example can therefore be dated between 1760-1794.
