Brace of American Brass Barrel flintock pistols

Description:

Vwery fine American made brace of brass barrelled flointlock pistols with about .48 cal, and a 10 1/8” octagon barrels showing moderate verdigris throughout. This is a rather nice honest pair of pistols in the original flint, the barrels and other brass hardware mostly toned to a pale ocher patina showing scattered mild tarnishing, light dings and handling marks to be expected. The barrel of one pistol shows a few more moderate dings and scuffs along its length. The lockplates are mostly an oxidized plum-brown patina with a bit of smoky gray case-hardening lurking about the protected areas, the frizzen screw and perhaps the cock screw replacements on one gun. The flat lockplates with teats at the rears are equipped with swan neck cocks, bridled frizzens and frizzen springs with simple extensions. Barrels are secured by simple dual iron wedges without escutcheons and brass hardware consists of single ramrod thimble with tailpipe, triggerguard with simple pineapple silhouette extensions, buttcap and simple lock screw escutcheons. There are silver monogram plates atop the wrists, both neatly engraved with the initials “JA”. The short grip walnut stocks remain in very good condition as lightly cleaned long ago and now mostly devoid of finish showing scattered thin lengthy cracks and some smoothed-over slivers mostly along the edges of the forend, along with the expected dings and handling marks. One pistol shows a repaired break at the wrist and the hardware fit otherwise remains quite good overall. Pistols include simple hickory ramrods and are sighted with dovetailed iron v-notch rear sights and small brass blade front sights. The lock on one pistol does not hold on half or full cock while the other remains crisp and seems to function well mechanically. A handsome pair of brass-barreled pistols No numbers or other markings.
When buying a gun always have it examined by a competent gunsmith before shooting. To buy a gun from me you must get a direct email for me, with details, and shipping cost. We don’t have asite .I prefer money orders or a check. Item ships when funds come in. If you can only pay with a card let me know. I try to keep guns affordable, which means I make less money than most dealers. You won’t get altitude sickness, or nose bleed, with my prices! I consistently have the best selection of older guns If you attempt to buy, you must still contact us for details . Best to email to buy. Sometimes a local person can stop buy and purchase before the gun is removed. Sometimes not home to get calls. Some guns are required shipment to a gun dealer near you for a transfer to you when it arrives. Otherwise many older or black powder guns ship to your door. With the widest selection of older guns at great prices, We don’t have a store, and sell on the internet only. I’m easy to get along with. Thank You.
