Loiner, I'm in the US, and bought them via Internet auction from Gunbroker.com. Both pistols are exempt from regulation under both US and UK law, as antiques. (Here, anything made before 1899 is exempt - with rare exceptions, such are fully automatic weapons and short-barrelled rifles and shotguns).

I'm not sure how your law reads in this respect, but I do know from UK collectors that they are exempt under your law as well.

Pinfires and British Bulldogs have both been ignored stepchildren of the gun collecting fraternity, so they are still available at good prices. I paid only $149 for the pinfire, and $175 for the Bulldog.

Cheers, and I hope the collecting bug bites you, too!
