The tap lock mechanism enables the pistol to fire either barrel by rotating the mechanism on the side of the gun, the mechanism allows the flash from the pan to go to either the top or the bottom barrel. The lock itself is a box lock. Overall length about 7 ½ ”, barrels about 2 ¼”, barrels screw off; also has a safety which allows the gun to be locked in the safety position when fully cocked. Marked Joseph on one side and Liverpool on other; shield shaped German silver escutcheon on wrist of stock. Condition: barrels still screw off; metal is all in good condition. The barrels are marked 6 and 7 respectively and match up with a 6 and 7 on the frame so that they can be screwed into the proper hole. Some dents on Liverpool marking.
