Original Item: Only One Available. This is a wonderful highly decorative flintlock trade pistol, most likely from what is now the Czech Republic, then known as Bohemia. It is heavily decorated throughout, with a carved stock, embossed brass mountings, engraved lock, and even an embossed and engraved barrel! This looks to definitely have been made for someone very well-heeled, as the amount of work that went into this was not insignificant.

The pistol measures 18 inches in overall length, with a smoothbore 12 inch long 0.55" bore barrel. It is in lovely condition, showing wear from age and light use. There are a few cracks in the stock, which is relatively thin due to the decoration, and there is a chunk missing to the rear of the lock plate. The metalwork overall has a lovely mellow patina, showing that it has been kept relatively clean, and not subjected to any adverse conditions. We checked the lock action, and it is functional but does not hold at half cock.

A lovely decorated Central European trade pistol, very impressive and rare. Ready to research and display!
