Very Attractive Gold Inlaid French Holster Flintlock Pistol by Gouvain of Langres

Gouvain of Langres, Haute-Marne, France, is listed as active around 1780. The smoothbore barrel has a series of gold inlays along its length and a gold lined vent. The lock is signed "Gouvain/a Langres" at center and has light scroll and border engraving. The brass furniture has various designs, including a snarling lioness/leopard head on the pommel. The stock is carved with molding, tear drop flats, and floral patterns.

ConditionVery good overall with a dark gray patina on most of the iron, light aged patina on the brass, distinct patterns, and some faint repaired cracks in the wrist of the refinished stock. Mechanically fine. This is a very attractive French flintlock pistol from the era of the American Revolution.
