Antique EUROPEAN Brass “CANNON BARREL” Flintlock BOXLOCK Pocket Pistol

Concealed Carry Flintlock Sidearm

Here we present an antique “Cannon Barrel” Brass Flintlock Pistol, made circa late 1700s to early 1800s in turn of the century likely in Europe. This pistol is small, light and simple. Typically, a smaller pistol as is this one, was easily concealed and primarily used for self defense.

These self-defense pistols would have been most at home in the coat pocket of anyone in the busy cities of London, Paris and Liege during the early 1800s. These style pistols are light and simple. The “Coat/Pocket Pistol” name says it all. They were the “Saturday Night Specials” of the 18th-19th century. Before the Deringer, they were “Gentleman’s” or “Muff Pistols”, typically, a smaller pistol that was easily concealed. They were favored among the gentry and women because of these traits. Men would carry them concealed in a waistcoat pocket and women would hide them in a hand muff.

This attractive little pistol was made for self-defense inside point-and-shoot distances. The frame and barrel are made entirely of brass. The overall condition is good. Strong action. Solid grip. The bore is in good shape for its age.
