A Superb and rare Tipping & Lawden four barrelled pepperbox pistol retaining 99% all of its original finish.
Circa 1865

With Tipping & Lawden sharps marked on one side

Very fine engraved barrels, frame, back strap and to the grips.
30 RF with British proof marks

Perfect working order.

These 4 barrelled derringer pistols were made by the American Sharps Company beginning with their 1859 Patent. Their Patents were used by other manufacturers both in America and Britain to make high quality derringers. Tipping & Lawden were one of the 20 members of the Birmingham Small Arms Trading Company Limited and were taken over by Webley & Scott in 1887.

Slightly larger than a gentleman’s pocket watch, Sharps’s palm-sized Derringer was a favourite with gamblers and others who felt they needed protection and wished to keep their ace in the hole secreted out of sight.

Provenance: George Edward Lewis was born in Birmingham on the 23rd January 1829 and, on leaving school, was apprenticed into the gun trade. Here he learnt of all branches of the trade and started up in business very soon after being passed fit as a gunmaker. His first premises were in Bath Street where, at that time, he specialised in engraving. However, he is recorded as moving the business to Lower Loveday Street in 1859 where he was registered as a gun, rifle and pistol maker. Sometime before 1873 he also enjoyed outlets in London, including one at 172 Strand but these were all of fairly short duration. The company was to remain in Lower Loveday Street for well over one hundred years before that area was redeveloped and lost forever.

Lewis senior is probably best remembered for his trademark shotgun known as 'The Gun of the Period' which was of good quality and available in both hammer and hammerless forms. Like many of his peers Lewis earned medals by attending the lavish exhibitions of the period and he gained several Gold Medals as well as diplomas and honours for his products at numerous domestic and foreign events.

Following his death in 1917 the title of the firm passed to his sons; E.C. and another G.E. Lewis. The former was a noted marksman of the time and undertook the regulated of all guns and rifles while his brother ran the company proper. The brothers were good businessmen and were engaged in War Office contracts and well as being quite early advocates of magnum chambered small bores, the latter may well have been for a burgeoning overseas market.

E.C. Lewis had two sons and the elder, E.V. Lewis, was to become an accomplished shot and served with honour during the Great War. The younger sibling and his grand father's namesake, G.E. Lewis was to take the reins of the family firm which he ran until his death in 1988, aged 83. He had also been appointed a Guardian of the Birmingham Proof House in 1951. The company was then acquired by John Harris, a stocker of some repute, who had carried out much work for George Lewis as well as being able to count him as a friend
