Hello,
I just bought this flintlock (Dueling pistol?) with screw off barrel, silver inlays. I was wondering if anyone was familiar with the cartoushes and pistol type? French? Belgian?
Best Regards,
Bob
The cartouchches are English. Most of the "screw-barrels" are frozen-up & glad to see your's is free. (Please put some grease in the threads for future owners !). The threads on the barrel-breech, appear machine made & that would date it at post 1770's & by the clean cut, I would say after 1780's. Is this rifled ?
No smoothbore, thanks for the info!
