The form of the butt was intended to give the impression that the owner was packing a M 1870 Gasser pistol (which I believe fired the largest black powder shell of its time.) Since only the butt showed above the holster or silahluk, it probably worked. The most interesting thing about these Gasseresque flintlocks is that they were used well into the 20th century.

Very much reminds me of the Philippine knife/dagger with a hilt made to look like a pistol grip. Intimidation or mere fashion?
As for late period use, I one time bought a couple of percussion pistols from Colonel Corry that were 1960-70's Iranian police confiscations from Kurdish tribesmen, still loaded!
