Hi Miqueleter, all,

many thanks for the scan!

And here is the promised scan/photo from the Czech book "Sbirka pistoli a revolveru" (Collection of pistols and revolvers).
The author dates it to the end of 17th century, Central Italy. Total length is 37 cm.

Regards,
Matus

I recently found this Lazarino Cominazzo flintlock pistol.
The wood under the barrel is in bad shape, but overall it's a decent 17th century example I think.
"Pietro Paolo Pantigir" was probably the name of the owner.

hello

It is not common, but there are some weapons that have their barrel of a known arnero, it has been recycled and put in a stock and lock from another source. Example A barrel of a gun used in whellock spark.

This seems to me, in my humble opinion, that is the case. The name on the plate is not the keeper, but the manufacturer.

Affectionately. Fernando K

If it was the name of the manufacturer, I would have to find something in google, which I don't. That's why I thought it would be someone else instead of the manufacturer.

hello

Anyone with access to the journal DIANA ARMI, eighth year, number 11 there is an article by Marcello Terenzi "A Sadeler unpublished", where he studied a pair of pistols signed by ZANOTTI, using a pair of barrel carved by the famous SADELER, with comparison two barrel chiseled with the same reason, a longer weapon wheellock conveniently shortened and put on a pair of flintlock pistols.

I have no scanner, but would rise a copy.

Affectionately. Fernando K
