Ahmad Shah came to the Mughal throne in March 1748, direct from a campaign against an invading Afghan army lead by Ahmad Shah Abdali, his first and only military experience. His mother was the former dancing girl, Udham Bai who had long been out of favour with the Mughal Emperor Muhammad Shah, Ahmad’s stingy father. Ahmad had therefore been brought up by women and eunuchs without education or luxury. He adopted the latter with alacrity while delegating government to his mother and the eunuch Javid Khan, his mother’s lover. Ahmad ignored administration and devoted himself to debauchery, disappearing into his pleasure gardens. Power passed into the hands of viziers and their factions at court. Men such as Safdar Jang and Imad ul-Mulk whose control of the Emperor Ahmad Shah gave them nominal legitimacy over what remained of the Mughal Empire. In 1754 Ahmad Shah was deposed and imprisoned in Salimgarh by his Grand Vizier, Imad-ul-Mulk in alliance with the Marathas. While in prison his eyes were gouged out but despite this he lived on until 1775

Matthew West (1747-1806) was apprenticed to Bartholemew Mosse, Master Silversmith of Dublin in 1762. He later occupied a premises on Skinner’s Row, now Christ Church Place. In 1783 he was elected Master of the Company of Goldsmiths

The Loughbrickland Volunteers was one of four named units raised in Loughbrickland, County Down, during the late 18th century under the overall command of the Earl of Charlemont. Forces of this type were raised throughout Ireland at the time in response to the increased threat of French and Spanish invasion whilst British soldiers were being withdrawn from Ireland to fight in the American Revolutionary War. The Volunteers were independent of the Irish Parliament and Dublin Castle, yet their existence was justified by claims that Ireland was particularly vulnerable to attack.

The Volunteers were also known for their liberal political views, with many opposing English governmental interference in Ireland. Under Henry Grattan, they formed a pressure group which succeeded in gaining legislative independence in 1782. The movement incorporated Anglican Protestants, Presbyterians and Catholics, and its members exerted considerable pressure on the British government to ease the Penal Laws on Catholics. The Volunteers became less influential following the end of the war in America in 1783. Internal divisions of opinion regarding political affairs weakened the movement, and the revolutionary and republican sentiments of some members were disapproved of by others, particularly in northern areas. By 1785 the National Army was in decline and the cause was lost

The maker is probably Mathieu (also Mattis) Beckers recorded as a gunmaker and stockmaker in Maastricht from around 1682 to about 1736. For more information see H.L. Visser & D.W. Bailey, editors, Aspects of Dutch Gunmaking..., 1997, pp. 160, 173, 181 and 190; and Drs. G. de Vries & Drs. B.J. Martens, Hartmans’ Dutch Gunmakers from the 15th to the 20th Century, 2006, pp. 242-243

Details in the design of the carving on the stocks, the silver wire inlay, and the chiselled decoration on some of the iron parts, differ between the two pistols. This was done deliberately, as on other contemporary pairs of pistols, and the practice seems to have been restricted to those of the finest quality
