 Salisbury Museum is pleased to announce that we have recently acquired a rare pair of 18th century flint lock pistols. They were acquired for £5,000 with help from an Art Fund grant of £2,500 with additional funding from the MLA/V&A Purchase Grant Fund. They were made by Richard Parrett, a gunsmith in Milford Street, Salisbury. The pistols are of exceptional quality, revealing the fine workmanship of a little known regional gunsmith who produced weapons that were works of art as well as firearms.
