Description
This Turkish flintlock pistol is likely from the first quarter of the 19th Century. It has been engraved with curving, flowing lines throughout the stock that sometimes create palm tree like shapes. The stock has been set with brass mounts, including a barrel band at the muzzle which has been decorated with pin-struck stamps, an inset medallion in the grip, a lightly engraved trigger guard, a rectangular tang, and a large round pommel shaped as a flower with repoussé petals, finished with a brass pommel cap with delicate engraving. The barrel and lockplate are both engraved, and the lock mechanism itself is in working order. Bore: 18mm Dimensions: L: 19 in., (48.5 cm.) Very good overall. Wood is in fine condition and metal is all bright. Some light staining on the barrel. Engraving on barrel is somewhat worn.
