This circa 1750 pistol has a tapered brass barrel with turned cannon muzzle and a large engraved panoply of arms in the center, towards breech. The brass lockplate features a brass pan and is inscribed in the center "Boys en Cadet / St. Etienne". Engraved brass furniture of classic French form. The oval-shaped wrist escutcheon has been replaced with an old German silver plate with a relief pelican. Walnut stock with relief flower around barrel tang and complete with its associated wooden ramrod. CONDITION: Very good, as found and untouched. Barrel, lockplate, and all furniture retain a dark unpolished patina. Lock is in its original flintlock configuration. Stock shows some scattered marks from use. A very nice pre-Revolutionary War French pistol. PROVENANCE: Tom Grinslade Collection. DMG
