Could use help identifying this flintlock pistol
Hello all! I've recently inherited this flintlock pistol and would love if you could help me identify it. It seems to me that it bears a strong resemblance to this gun http://www.vikingsword.com/ubb/Forum1/HTML/002066.html but my barrel is much less engraved though the stock is very nicely carved and adorned with brass wire inlays. The lock very rusty and still moves a bit but is stuck in the full cock position. The barrrel, as you can see is coated with rust and after removing it I can see that it was not browned or blued. The butt piece is missing it's main "screw" or whatever you call it and the lock plate bolt heads are mostly rusted away.
It's pretty neat though and would love to know more about it. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated! P.S. One of the photos shows the stock and barrel near the muzzle where there used to be a band. Any clue where to find the missing parts for a piece like this? |
