Military Double Barrel Flintlock Pistol
Here I show you a really rare item. A double barrel pistol of the carabiniers of the small county of Schaumburg-Lippe-Bückeburg. It was used under count William between 1756 and 1785 and is probably the only double barrel ordnance flintlock pistol ever in use. The quantity made has been ca. 100. The left barrel is smooth bore, the right one has six strait grooves. Caliber is 14,0 mm. The pistol has been restored, the missing battery springs are replaced.
