Hi Corrado.
What a beautiful pistol and flask !!!!! They both look perfect next to one another.
Seems obvious it was made for personal protection. I note the beautifully chiseled belt hook on the left side of the pistol. Which indicates, at least in this case, the idea of the belt hook is at least from the late 16th Century. I did not know this.
Question: Does the square key hole in the Flask also fit the top screw? If so, that would make it convenient for changing pyrites as needed.
With the pistol loaded and readily available on the belt - the flask, a couple extra paper-wrapped cartridges, and spare pyrites - could all be kept in a small pouch on the belt for easy access to reload. At least that is what comes to mind. LOL
Super neat pistol and flask.
