DESCRIPTION

Untouched, and I mean untouched, flintlock pistol that is likely one of those made up of old land service pistol stocks and 12-inch barrels, but fitted with newer locks and sent over here in 1781 to arm loyalist cavalry in the south. Dewitt Bailey shows some examples with simplified carving. I think those are more likely ones assembled after the end of the war. This one still has the carving but uses simplified sideplate, indicating the gun had been rough stocked but not completed. Inspector marks on the wrist show that it was in government stores.
Call for details, more photos and pricing, and I'd be happy to go over it with you.
