FRENCH DOUBLE FLINTLOCK POCKET PISTOL.
Cal. 40. S# NSN. Small, attractive, medium-quality pistol, 8" overall, with 4" unmarked barrels. Locks with deeply chamfered plates feature serpentine cocks, inset rounded pans, unbridled friction frizzens, and feather springs with flattened bulbous finials. Lockplates are engraved with line borders and acanthus highlights. Stock with a small knob grip extends to muzzles. Raised moldings around locks, trigger guard and ramrod channel. Raised, carved acanthus is behind the barrel tang and thimble. Iron mounts include a small, engraved grip cap with side spurs and a trigger guard with a spear finial. CONDITION: good. Metal parts were cleaned to a gray patina with silver highlights. The stock is fairly sound, with repairs at the muzzle and some replacement on the left side. Chips of wood are missing around lockplates. Bores are pitted. The right lock is operable; the left has replaced frizzen and cock. It will also not hold at full cock. (01-24409/MGM). ANTIQUE. $1,500-2,000.
