A) Flintlock Horse Pistol

Manufacturer: Unknown
Model: Flintlock Pistol
Type: Pistol
Gauge: 58
Barrel: 12 1/4 inch round
Finish: brown
Grip:
Stock: walnut
Item Views: 803
Serial Number:
Catalog Page: 23
Class: Antique
Description:

The barrel is manufactured without sights and is marked "* / AC" at the breech (most likely Belgian). The lock is stamped with a circled script "J" overstamped with the numeral "5". All iron furniture including the large grip cap and the belt hook mounted on the left side. Smooth walnut stock flared at the butt.

Rating Definition:

Good. Overall the metal surfaces have been cleaned bright and now exhibit a smooth gray patina with some speckling of dark brown. There is some scattered light pitting with very limited deep pitting on the barrel at the breech. The refinished stock is good with a couple minor gouges and some minor dings and scratches, with the forearm altered near the muzzle. The replacement ramrod has a detached, but included tip and the buttcap is undersized. Action needs work as the cracked hammer does not release correctly in the cocked position.



B) Flintlock Pistol

Manufacturer: Unknown
Model: Flintlock Pistol
Type: Pistol
Gauge: 58
Barrel: 12 1/4 inch round
Finish: brown
Grip:
Stock: walnut
Item Views: 803
Serial Number:
Catalog Page: 23
Class: Antique
Description:

As described in "A" but without the "* / AC" marking and with "31 / 1" on the barrel at the breech (left side).

Rating Definition:

Good. Overall the pistol has a mottled brown-gray patina with a darker patina on the buttcap. The trigger guard has an absent screw. The refinished stock is good with the exception of a hairline crack near the slightly ill-fitting buttcap and some scattered light handling marks, with the forearm altered near the muzzle and missing a pin.
