介绍（中）	关枪最早出现在1640年代左右，18世纪在英国特别流行。关闭手枪的枪管在膛室前面拧下，这样球就可以直接放置到位，而不是通过枪口上膛。通过关闭系统装载的球可能比枪口装载的球稍大，因为在装载过程中不需要使其尺寸容易穿过枪管。它可以更紧密地嵌入膛内，从而在发射时提高速度和精度。这对手枪展示了18世纪早期至中期英国关闭手枪的许多典型形式特征，包括：外观类似大炮的滑膛枪管；与后膛锻造在一起的锁，锁板由此形成枪管的延伸部分；装饰性侧板，没有实际功能，锁固定在后膛上；又短又肿的屁股；一个银色面具的烟帽；把手上有一个银色的饰框。这种类型的手枪通常被称为安妮女王手枪，尽管大多数是在女王去世后（1665-1714）生产的。
介绍（英）	Turn-off pistols first appeared around the 1640s and gained particular popularity in England in the 18th century. The barrels of turn-off pistols unscrew ahead of the chamber, allowing for the ball to be set directly into place, rather than loaded through the muzzle. A ball loaded via the turn-off system could be slightly larger than a muzzle-loaded ball as it was not necessary to make it a size that would pass easily through the barrel during loading. It could fit in the bore more tightly, and thus achieve increased velocity and accuracy when fired. This pair of pistols exhibits many of the typical formal features of English turn-off pistols of the early to mid- 18th century, including: a smoothbore barrel resembling a cannon in appearance; a lock forged together with the breech, with the lock plate thus forming an extension of the barrel; a decorative side-plate that served no practical function, the lock being secured to the breech; a short, swollen butt; a silver mask butt cap; and a silver escutcheon on the grip. Pistols of this type are often referred to as Queen Anne pistols, despite the fact that most were produced after the Queen’s death (1665–1714).
