This outstanding handmade miniature is by Robin Armstrong and represents an incredibly detailed, 1/3 scale, Simeon North Model 1808 flintlock pistol, which were made for the U.S. navy. The fully function lock has the correct U.S. and Simeon North markings, and the left side of the pistol has the iron belt hook as seen on the full-size originals. Only 3,000 of full-size pistols were produced for the navy. Includes a leatherette wrapped case with fitted interior with Robin Armstrong label. Provenance: The Cranford Dalby Collection

Excellent overall with the metal almost entirely bright and only the slightest handling evidence overall. The case is also excellent.
