Flintlock Pistol SPF

Pards,

 

This is a replica of the famous British Tower pistol that was used in the French and Indian wars through the Napoleonic wars. I've had this Flintlock pistol for some years now and just don't use it anymore. Truth is I never used it…Nope this old gal never had a flint in it since I've owned it. My father had one just like it and we both shot it quite a bit and it was fun to do so, that's why I bought this one. I bought it second hand and I remember the Pard telling me it was never fired. Sure looks like it was never fired as the touch hole and bore still shine like a new nickel. This pistol measures 16 inches long with a 9 ½ inch barrel. I believe it's a .69 cal. Springs are strong and snappy, brass fittings just have enough patina to make it look old. Stamped JAPAN just like the one my father had bought in the early 1970s. SPF to Buck Elkhorn
