A British percussion howdah pistol in .62 caliber with 6-inch barrels, dated by the supplier to the 1840s or 1850s and carrying no serial number. It is listed as a gunsmith project: parts are missing and the stock has been repaired. The supplier suggests it as a restoration candidate rather than a finished collector's piece, and no further condition grading is given.

In Delaware this suits a gunsmith or a hands-on collector who wants a period howdah to bring back rather than a display-ready example. It is sold used, incomplete, in the state described, and the buyer should expect to source parts and do the work. Because it is a pistol, Delaware treats the dealer transfer as a handgun sale: the buyer must be 21 or older, must already hold the qualified purchaser permit or a current carry license, and completes photo identification, Form 4473 and a background check with the dealer.
