Description:

This attractive modern matchlock pistol has three barrels, each with their own sets of sights, flash pans, and engraved and inlaid traditional dragons and floral designs on the muzzles. The barrels are manually revolved clockwise. The brass furniture has some engraved line patterns. The stock is smooth hardwood.

Rating Definition:

Fine with bright inlays and mostly dark backgrounds on the barrels, some pitting and tool marks, and mild aged patina on the brass. Inspection of the muzzles suggests this pistol was not meant to be fired, but it is mechanically fine. The wood is also fine and has dark finish with some red tones showing through and minor handling and storage marks. Overall, this is a very attractive and interesting pistol.
