Today we know that Liege is a city in Belgium, perhaps most famous for its centuries of arms manufacture; but at this time, Belgium was not yet independent, and was a parcel of the United Kingdom of the Netherlands until recognized in 1839. Revolution and the push for independence began in earnest in 1830. This pistol features a large .70 caliber bore, typical of a military small arm of the period. The pommel is a flat one with a lanyard ring. There is a crowned “DN” for Delft Nederlandse on the lock. No provision for a ramrod was made as the user carried one secured to his belt. This would have been one of the last large, smooth bore flintlock pistols to be made for official service before pistols in the percussion firing system were introduced and adopted. The overall condition is good. General wear with age. Pictures provided for overall condition and quality. The bore is smooth. The action remains strong and functional. Own the original!

Colt was able to establish several license agreement's which includes having a representative at the Belgium proof house to monitor and charge the competitors a fee to have their copies inspected and approved. If approved, the top of the barrel was stamped \"COLT BREVETE\" indicating that the copy was of good quality and could be sold.

Bacon was a very ingenious gunmaker in the mid 19th century, though sadly he never never achieved the level of success that his designs warranted before his death in 1873. He associated with several different New England gunmaking firms, including Ethan Allen, Allen and Thurber, and three other companies which bore his name. He originally had been a \"jobber\" for Ethan Allen, also of Norwich, but when that company moved to Worcester, Bacon opened \"Bacon \u0026amp; Company\", which was a manufacturer of single-shot, underhammer, and pepperbox pistols. Unfortunately this venture did not turn out successfully, and after a failed attempt to raise capital, closed in 1857\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBacon then worked with Manhattan firearms, also located in Norwich at that point, but decided to start another firm under his own name in 1858, Bacon Manufacturing Company. This company started out by manufacturing Colt-style pocket percussion revolvers, and then turned to the production of small cartridge revolvers in .22, .25, .32 and .38 rimfire. Unfortunately at the time Smith \u0026amp; Wesson still held rights to the Rollin White patent for a bored through cylinder, which resulted in lawsuits and subsequent royalties being paid. Bacon was forced to put the Rollin White and Smith \u0026amp; Wesson patent information on all of the revolvers produced after this point.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn 1863, the chief shareholder of the Bacon Manufacturing Company became displeased with Thomas Bacon’s performance with the company, and forced him out.
