Original Continental European 17th Century Flintlock Pistol Lock on Display Stand - Sea Monster Motif
-
Original Item. One-of-a-Kind. This is a gorgeous late 17th Century pistol lock which was placed onto this display stand which likely at one point was set up to show how the lock cocks and fires, but it no longer functions in that way. The piece measures 6⅛ x 2½ x 3½”, and the lock can be removed from the block to inspect the interior.
The block was custom-made to fit this exact lock, and there is a small “button” on top which would have originally been set up to release the hammer and strike the frizzen. The lock no longer locks up with the block and other pieces, but this could likely be fixed with some work. The lock is ornately designed with a sea monster or kraken motif in the center, with the lock tang shaped like a sea monster. The hammer is similarly designed with a small sea monster near the screw, with the back of the frizzen almost shapes like a sea shell.
This is a really gorgeous pistol lock display that could be refurbished or displayed as is. Comes ready for further research and display!
