Description:

A highly embellished flintlock pistol, most likely intended for the Turkish market. 16 3/4 inches overall length. Produced without sights, with a pair of unidentified proof marks on the left side at the breech, with traces of gold, strongest on the rear section. Additional gold is present on the hammer and lock plate, laid out in scroll and floral patterns, with a roller frizzen spring and a raised flash shield. Checkered full length stock, with an extended floral pattern silver ramrod pipe, trigger guard with raised scrollwork, engraved drums on the front finial and raised array of arms, traces of gold wash on the pipe and guard, two silver plates on the back of the grip with drum and floral engraving, a starburst panel on the butt with raised arms, and extensive wire scroll and floral plate inlays overall.

Rating Definition:

Very good, with a brown patina on the barrel, lock and hammer, with some dings and handling marks. Stock is good, with some light chips, wear on the furniture and sections of loose or absent wire. Mechanically needs adjustment, as hammer will not hold on cock, but does operate.
