Original Ottoman Decorated Flintlock Holster Pistol with Intact Ramrod - circa 1800
-
Original Item: Only One Available. This comes from an old U.S. Collection formed in the 1950's and 1960's that we have just received. Basically untouched from 50 years in storage, a most interesting pistol. Very possibly several components in this Ottoman Holster Pistol were European Made.
The barrel of 11" is heavily carved on the rear half with matching heavy carving on the Flintlock mechanism. The mounts appear to be white metal and maybe low quality silver and surprisingly the pistol comes WITH an operational long all iron ram rod. The silver nose cap is most certainly an addition added in the Ottoman Empire, and actually gets in the way of removing the ramrod a bit. Since Ottoman troops usually carried the ramrod on a cord around their neck, this would not have been an issue.
Fully cleaned, works on half cock but full cock needs adjustment. Great decorator, ready to display.
