A very rare, early 19th century, four shot, Belgium made, flintlock pistol from an unknown maker. The remains of the ‘LEG’ mark without a surrounding oval and star, indicate per 1810 manufacture.
The whole pistol has been coated with some type of unknown, long-term preservative.
The .40 caliber, round, smoothbore, screw off barrels measure 3 inches each with the whole pistol measuring 8 ½ inches. The barrels are currently stuck fast as is the siding safety.
The box lock frame the effects of past corrosion but the engravings of a hare and hound are still viable. A faint ‘L / E G’ is to be found on the left side in front of the tap lever.
The actions still function as does the tap. In its day this gave the user four separate shots before the need to reload.
The numbers ‘003915’ under the breech indicate that it was at one time registered in NSW.
The walnut grip is in a good, solid condition with the expected signs of usage.
A rare form of flintlock pistol that will improve with some careful cleaning.
Sold as a collector item only.
Price includes shipping in Australia, layby available.
