COMPOSITE 17TH CENTURY GERMAN WHEELOCK WITH 19TH CENTURY INLAID STOCK. GERMAN WHEELOCK PISTOL NSN 60 BORE Cal. 60 bore. 23" overall, 15-1/2" oct-rnd bbl. Victorian castles of the mid-late 19th century seemed to have a need for historic arms and armor. This is one such gun that filled that need. The metal parts are 17th century German, but the engraved bone inlays were added mid-late 19th century. Regardless, this is a very attractive and decorative Wheelock in the 17th century-style. CONDITION: Very good overall. Gun is sound and complete as configured with minor losses of bone insets. Mechanics are functional; cock and spring are good, but wheel was not cranked to see if truly functional, pitted clear bore. 52630-6 JS (3,000-4,000)
