Scarce Mays Boxlock Flintlock "Duck Foot" Pistol

These "duck foot" pistols have long fascinated gun collectors. In this example, three screw-off barrels numbered 1-3 at the breech fire simultaneously when the trigger is pulled. If you aimed straight at a single man in front of you at more than close quarters, you might very well miss entirely, but aim at a group of mutineers, rioting prisoners, or a mob, and you very well could hit three people with a single trigger pull. The array of barrels itself might also dissuade would be attackers. It has London proofs and "MAYES" is marked among the martial themed engraving on the left.
