This incredible piece was handmade by Stan Blashak and represents a detailed, typical 18th century flintlock pistol in 1/4 scale. The multi-stage barrel and lightly engraved, functioning lock are finished bright, while the remaining furniture is silvered and lightly engraved. The walnut stock is nicely carved in the style typical of the period. Includes a hardwood case with interior fitted for the pistol and the included miniature ball mold, powder flask, turnscrew, and pan brush. Provenance: The Cranford Dalby Collection

Excellent overall with the iron bright and a very lightly aged, attractive patina on the silver, and very minimal handling evidence overall. The case and accessories are also excellent.
