George Washington's favorite pistol was made in London in 1748 by Hawkins, one of the best known gunmakers of the period, and it still survives as a national treasure. Elegant in its design, the gun combines simple, clean lines with tasteful silver decoration.
These replicas are intended for collection, display,
and decoration only. Although the lock-actions on
the replica firearms are mechanically functional,
these items are completely safe and non-fireable.
