Late 18th/Early 19th Century GERMANIC Antique .64 Flintlock HOLSTER Pistol
Horse/Holster .64 Caliber Pistol w/BRASS HARDWARE
Here we present an antique Germanic Arnold Cologna of Mayence Flintlock Pistol, made circa the late 1700s in Mainz, Germany. Mainz, previously known in English as Mentz or Mayence, is the capital and largest city of Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. This pistol is full-sized, made for wearing on a belt or carrying on the pommel holster of a horse. Then, as now, rifles and muskets were the primary arm of the day, useful for everything from hunting to combat. Pistols were certainly not as numerous but still very useful for combat since most firearms at this time were limited to a single shot. Imagine if one discharged their single shot firearm only to miss or have another enemy close the distance. A man expecting trouble might carry as many pistols on his person as he could. The true flintlock continued to be in common use for over two centuries, replaced by percussion cap and, later, the cartridge-based systems in the early-to-mid 19th century.
This pistol could possibly been in service during the American Revolutionary War as well as the Napoleonic Wars. Like the cavalry pistols from other nations such as Britain and France, this was a large, single shot pistol with a brass pommel that could be used as a club when the single shot was expended. Here is a fantastic, scarce and historical Germanic Horse/Holster Pistol from one of the most pivotal times in European history!
The overall condition is fair. Original finish/patina. Some gold still remains on the barrel. The action is not presently functional. The bore is smooth and dim. The stock has been damaged throughout but surprisingly enough holds together well.
Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.
Barrel is 11-1/2 inches.
Caliber: .64 Flintlock
