The pistol is 10 ½” in overall length with a 5” 2-stage iron barrel that flares to 1 ¼” across the inside diameter of the muzzle.The condition of the metal is good to very good with minor erosion and very slight pin prick pitting that is only natural aging. The stock is very good plus with crisp raised carving around the mounts in a floral design with silver wire inlay around the butt area. All original flintlock small parts, bayonet snaps and locks perfectly action needs minor repair as not holding on cocking. An old metal tipped rod, of the period, is included. From an old collection and far above average for a flintlock pistol that could have seen service in the Napoleonic Era. Est.: $1,250-$2,500.
