Beautiful Greek Flintlock pistol. Late 18th or early 19th century. These were made under the Ottoman Empire rule and it wasn't until 1830 that Greece regained its independence. This pistol is very special in that the barrel, lock and frizzen are all well chiseled. The barrel is deeply chiseled with a man on horseback with a bird (possibly a falcon) on one of the barrels and a similar figure on the other end. In the middle of the barrel is a figure of a woman in native costume with an opposite figure of a man with mustache. The frizzen has the same man of the face of its lock. It is also chiseled.
