Original Item: Only One Available. This is a very nice OTTOMAN Turkish flintlock pistol, made to follow the standard European lines. It features all iron mounts and partly checkered stock exhibiting a wood ramrod which is unusual for Ottoman pistols. The fore end wood was cut for some reason about 4 inches back from the muzzle, which we have left unrepaired, as it is part of the history of the pistol.

With a 12 inch barrel and overall length of 19 inches, this is a typical "holster pistol" style arm, used throughout the Ottoman empire and much of the Mediterranean area. The pistol comes with a typical Ottoman flintlock mechanism bearing a "swan neck" cock, and has a very strong mainspring. The lock is fully functional, holding correctly at half cock and firing at full.

A very nice Ottoman Flintlock pistol, ready to restore or display as is!

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