Lancaster Howdah Pistols

Charles Lancaster was a master London gunsmith who made 2-barrel and 4-barrel pistols in a variety of British revolver cartridges (commonly known as Howdah pistols). Many of his pistols was purchased privately by British military officers, explorers, and big-game hunters to use as backup weapons throughout the Empire. These three examples are chambered for the .380, .476, and .577 centerfire cartridges, and are all excellent examples of Lancaster's work and the quality of Victorian-era British craftsmanship. http://www.forgottenweapons.com Theme music by Dylan Benson - http://dbproductioncompany.webs.com
