I collect antique firearms -- mostly flintlocks. From time to time on this Forum I encounter mention of John Rigby being one of the oldest makers of firearms in Britain. That is true. I thought it would be interesting to post some photographs of a boxed set of fine pistols he made in his Dublin workshop in 1797 just before he moved to London (sorry for the poor photo quality - I had to take them indoors today - I might re-take some in better light conditions).
