Deeply rifled .80 caliber octagonal barrel with Birmingham proofs on left side, near breech. There is a silver bead on top, towards the muzzle and the top flat near the breech is stamped "WARRANTED". Engraved barrel tang. Flat lockplate engraved extensively with foliate scrolls. Features include a sliding half-cock safety at the tail and a re-enforced cock. German silver pommel cap engraved with a flower around the center screw and German silver barrel-key escutcheons. Engraved iron trigger and ramrod ferrules. Full-length stock with checkered panels around grip. CONDITION: Very good, overall. Barrel and lock retain a light grey patina with some scattered light freckling. Lock fuctions well and is in its original flintlock configuration. Mounts show some light wear. Stock very good with light storage marks and some minor staining. Horn ramrod is original. Large bore rifled pistols are extremely unusual and this is an excellent example.
