Description:
An 18th century pirate belt pistol of about .64 cal, with a n 8 3/8” barrel with a lightly oxidized bore. The barrel and lock of this pistol have toned to pewter gunmetal showing remnants of old oxidation staining and partially smoothed-over light pitting. Measures about 15" overall. The lock works well,  and the breech shows some light foliate embellishments. The pistol is equipped with brass fittings including ramrod thimble with tailpipe, triggerguard with simple foliate extension, dual-strapped heavy buttcap, simple wrist inlay and sideplate. The brass has toned to a mild goldenrod tone showing some overall light dings and handling marks. The walnut stock rates about good showing  some overall light dings and handling marks. There are some nice foliate carvings behind the breech and tailpipe along with some geometric wire inlays down the back of the grip and a wire inlay of a scimitar on the right side grip. The stock is shaped with a faux ramrod, the thimble and tailpipe merely decorative, common for a pirate boarding pistol. 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 a web  site .I prefer money orders or a check.  Item ships when funds come in. 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
