John Miles, Philadelphia flintlock pistol

Description:
.62 caliber with 9-3/8” round, unmarked barrel. C. 1800-10.  Barrel flash hole has been rebushed.  Military style lock is marked “Miles/CP” indicating ownership by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, however I think the "CP" has been added. Lock with gooseneck hammer appears to be in original flintlock configuration and shows scattered pitting and grey surface.  Brass furniture is in the style of 1807 contract pistols.  Plain walnut stock is in excellent condition to be 200+ years old.  Wooden ramrod is a replacement. John Miles made various styles of pistols under several contracts.  Irregardless of the spurious "CP" marking, it is still a very nice Miles flintlock pistol.  Quantities unknown but all variations are considered rare.  Very attractive pistol.

LEGAL:  No FFL or C&R license is required!  I will require a photo copy of your state ID or driver’s license with payment to verify your age. I am a collector – not a dealer, so it is your responsibility to know your local laws regarding the transfer of antique guns before .  It is my intent to follow ALL national, state and local laws.  If you win an and the item cannot legally be sent to you, I will charge a 20% restocking fee.
All firearms are being sold as antiques and I make NO warranties or guarantees, whatsoever, as to a firearm’s safety.  All firearms should be inspected by a qualified gunsmith before firing.

SHIPPING:  No local pick up.  No international shipments.  Shipping within the continental United States will be $60 for long arms and $30 for pistols. Shipments to Alaska and Hawaii will incur additional charges (I’ll only charge the incremental difference in shipping costs).  I’ll do my best to ship as quickly as possible, but please keep in mind that I’m an individual and don’t have a shipping department (unless you count my wife).

INSPECTION PERIOD:  I offer a three day, no questions asked, inspection period.  I’ll refund the purchase price but not the shipping/insurance.  Returned firearms must NOT have been fired, disassembled, or altered in any way.
