Description:
NSN, .62 Caliber, 13 1/4" barrel with a very good, lightly pitted bore. This is a handsome, brass-mounted pistol that has a wedding band muzzle, light floral engraving at the breech, and an unusual brass lockplate with steel cock and frizzen. The lockplate itself has a clear and easily legible maker name: "N. DEMRAHT / ESSEN." The brass was cleaned a long time ago and has an overall, bright yellow-ochre patina, while the steel components have a bright gray patina. The carved walnut stock is in fine shape, with some minor handling marks scattered about the old oil finish, as well as a few very small chips around the fastening pins along the forend. The brass furniture has a matching patina, including on the elaborate pierced sideplate, and on the domes brass pommel cap. The pistol comes with a tapered ebony ramrod, and the action is fully functional. There is an "N. Demrath" listed as a maker in Essen ca. 1735, probably related to Jacob Demrath (1651 & 1711), and this is almost certainly an example of his work. It is a handsome pistol, perfect for display, and is in very good-fine condition. Antique;
