What kind of pistol is yours? Is it an officer's pistol or a dueller? Smooth or
rifled bore? (it may pay to look closely, since duellers were supposed to be
smooth, but often had shallow rifling, and were smooth for only an inch or so at
the muzzle - sometimes one of a pair was this way, the other completely smooth -
this was cheating, but many makers including Joe Manton were willing to
accommodate!)

I just gotta chuckle at the great stuff Mike knows about.
