Description:
DOUBLE BARREL Antique FLINTLOCK Tap Action Pistol
18th Century British Defensive Pistol with Barrel Selector
Here we present an antique British Over/Under Tap Action Flintlock Pistol with Screw-Off Barrels, made circa the late 1700s. This pistol was designed for defensive use. Its major advantage over most pistols of the period was the ability to fire two shots instead of one. Each bore has its own vent through which a spark would travel to ignite the charge within. With a flip of the horseshoe-shaped rotating lever on the left side of the frame, one could select either the top or bottom bore. If neither barrel had been shot yet, the shooter could open both vents to shoot both bores simultaneously. The barrels thread off for tool-less loading. This also gave the lead ball a better gas seal and more velocity than one having to fit from the muzzle. This pistol features floral engravings on both sides of the barrel above the trigger. Each barrel and the frame bears a “CROWN/V” proof mark.
The overall condition is fine. The metal surfaces are bright. The engravings are clear. The walnut grip is nicely checkered. The bores are both clean. The action in this pistol is excellent. Here is a very neat British flintlock pistol!
