Description:
FANTASTIC Antique MEDITERANEAN Flintlock Pistol
Late-18th Century Horse/Naval Pistol
Here we present an antique Flintlock Horse Pistol, made circa the end of the 18th century. Pistols like these were commonly used around the Mediterranean in the 18th and early 19th Centuries. This pistol was made in Europe, possibly Italy. The aesthetic, both in form and décor, are European, though there are several crescent moons throughout that 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. This is a large pistol used for fighting but it was also a status symbol with its engravings and wire inlay in the stock.
The overall condition is fine. The metal surfaces have an aged patina. The markings, engravings and embellishments are clear. The stock is in very good shape, smooth and solid and nicely carved. There is a crack on the underside of the forestock, near the muzzle where the wooden is at its thinnest. It has been nicely repaired and is not visible unless the pistol is overturned. The bore is smooth and clean. The action is excellent.
