Update on my previous post about the set of pistols in found in my loft. 

Firstly thank you for all the comments, some of you gave me some really helpful information and advice. 

A few of you requested that I took some better photos, which I have done. Tbh I hadn't even taken them out of the box when I found them, fearing they might be loaded. Upon taking them out, I realised how much of the beautiful details I was hiding! 

I have also been in contact with Holts auctioneers to get a valuation, which I am still waiting for as a write this. 

I discovered that the inserts in the box come out, and to my surprise I found some paperwork under there. There was a documented exchange between one of my ancestors and cogswell about fully refurbishing the pistols in the 1960's, which was paid for. Cogswell stated in the letters that the pistols are not made by them, but instead they are 'Smith'. They also said the box is one of theirs and at some point, must've been modified to fit these pistols. I also found percussion caps and lead balls in the box. 

I am yet to inform Holts that they are actually made by 'Smith'. Does anyone know who they are? The only smith I know in the firearm world is Smith & Western and I'm pretty sure they're not from London. 

Thanks again!
