BRACE of BRASS & SILVER INLAID Antique OTTOMAN Flintlock HOLSTER Pistols  

“M.A. GIVRATI” Marked Mid to Late 1700s Pistols

Here Ancestry Guns presents a Matching Pair of antique M.A. Givrati Marked Mediterranean/Ottoman Style Flintlock Holster/Naval Pistols, made circa the middle to the end of the 18th century. Pistols like these were commonly used around the Mediterranean in the 18th and early 19th Centuries. These pistols were likely made in Europe, possibly Italy. The aesthetic, both in form and décor, are European, though the engravings and inlays throughout are indicative of Ottoman ownership.

This would have been like those weapons carried by Tripolitan pirates when the young United States sent the Marines to take care of them. These are large pistols used for fighting but they were also a status symbol with their inlays and engravings in the barrels.

The overall condition is very good. Original bright gray patinas. Strong actions. Both bores are in good shape for their ages. The refinished wood on both examples is very good. One pistol has a few repaired cracks that remain stable. The brass inlays are mostly intact. The lockplates marked “M.A.GIVRATI”.

Own the original! These are legitimate antiques and not reproductions.

Barrels are both 6-1/8 inches.

Calibers: Both are .45 Flintlock.
