Up for auction is an antique flintlock pistol, featuring a 5" barrel and a classic flintlock ignition system. This historic firearm is in fair condition, with a dark finish that shows signs of age and use. The pistol's age and specific history are unknown, and further research will be required to identify its exact origins, maker, or time period. However, its design and construction suggest it is a traditional example of flintlock pistols from the 18th or early 19th century.
The metal components exhibit some oxidation and pitting consistent with age, while the wood grip shows wear, dings, and scratches from handling. The pistol retains much of its original character, but as with many antique firearms, it may require restoration or repairs to be fully functional.
This flintlock pistol would make an excellent addition to a collection of antique firearms, or for those with an interest in flintlock technology and early firearm history. Its unique design and historical significance offer plenty of potential for further research, restoration, or display. Please see photos. Antique Flintlock Pistol Flint Lock 5 Dark Fair n
