Possibly New England, Revolutionary War period. This pistol has an unmarked rifled barrel with a brass half moon front sight. The convex lockplate is also unmarked and has simple double-line engraved borders. The brass furniture includes a plain pommel cap, an engraved sideplate, and an engraved trigger guard terminating in an acorn finial. The walnut stock features a well-carved fan in relief around the barrel tang, similar shells have been seen on other New England arms. There are also relief panels around the lock and sideplate, terminating at the rear in a teardrop. Wooden ramrod is a replacement. CONDITION: Very good and untouched. Barrel and lock retain a pleasing brown patina. Lock functions properly and is in its original flintlock configuration. Brass retains an unpolished dark mustard patina. Stock shows some minor bruising. A very attractive pistol. PROVENANCE: Tom Grinslade Collection. DMG
