LIEGE PROOFED Mid-1800s Antique BRASS BARREL “Manstopper” PERCUSSION Pistol Lightly Engraved Impressive .69 Smoothbore 19th Century Sidearm
Description: LIEGE PROOFED Mid-1800s Antique BRASS BARREL “Manstopper” PERCUSSION Pistol Lightly Engraved Impressive .69 Smoothbore 19th Century Sidearm Here we present an antique Brass Barrel Percussion Pistol, made circa the early-19th Century in Liege. Today we know that Liege is a city in Belgium, perhaps most famous for its centuries of arms manufacture. This pistol features a large caliber “manstopper” bore. This example is Liege proofed with Birmingham proofs and “SHARPE/EXTRA/PROOF” and a “KETLAND” marked lock. This type of pistol was very popular from the 18th and into the mid-19th Centuries in the United States, as well as Europe that features an octagon barrel that would have been worn on the belt or holstered as it was possibly carried into battle after being privately purchased. This is a neat old pistol and one can easily imagine the sight of its bore would certainly be a deterrent to would be scoundrels. It was likely made primarily for self-defense, especially in cities or traveling around the countryside. This pistol is large enough to make someone think twice before bothering the carrier. The lock is lightly engraved with a scroll motif. This piece features light engraving on the steel lock, an octagonal brass barrel that is 8 inches in length. The other hardware is also brass. There is a Liege proof on the top barrel flat. The overall condition is good. The hammer only seats in the half cock notch. Good bore, has darkened and shows traces of verdigris. Markings are legible. Liege proofed barrel top. “KETLAND” lock. Absent bolster screw. The wood is in good shape with average wear and a crack on the left wrist (stable). Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 8 inches. Caliber: .69 Flintlock Overall condition as seen in photos. Very Fast. Very Safe. FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE. Delivered directly to your door by express mail! Guaranteed AUTHENTIC & Includes CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY. ancestryguns $1800 #250544 Antique: Yes Price: $1,800.00 Buy Now Pay with
