Original Item: Only One Available. This is a beautifully appointed OTTOMAN flintlock pistol made to follow European lines covered in Silver wire inlay in the carved  wood stock. The butt cap with long ears, the trigger guard and the intricate side plate all of Silver or iron with heavy Silver inlay. The engraved lock is nicely engraved including the swan neck cock. Measuring almost 20" in over all length the barrel itself, also engraved, measures 12 1/2". There are also some maker marks on the lock plate and barrel, but we cannot decipher them, so they may just be imitation.

Copying the western Style, the pistol displays a silver-inlaid "faux" ramrod which is not intended for use. The actual ramrod was usually carried on a leather thong carried around the neck, so that it could not be dropped during reloading on horseback.

In fine working order and fully cleaned condition ready to display!

This law exempts antique firearms from any form of gun control or special engineering because they are not legally considered firearms.
