Product Description

FRENCH Model 1763/66 FLINTLOCK Military Pistol with GILLES MASSIN Lock .69

Revolutionary War Era Sidearm from France

Here we present an antique French Military Model 1763/66 flintlock pistol, made circa the 1770s. The Model 1763/66 pistols were used by both the French Army and Navy and by American rebel forces later during the American Revolution making them historically significant pistol for both European and American martial arms collectors. Large quantities of French firearms were imported for use by the American revolutionaries in their struggle against the British crown.

Dark patina throughout. The action does not function. Good bore for its age. Some worming is present on the left side of the stock and grip. A large crack through the stock shows movement. Markings are legible. The barrel tang appears to read “1763”. “G. MASSIN” marked lock, which was a period replacement by Gilles Massin, a Liege gunmaker.

Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.

Barrel is 9 inches.

Caliber: .69 Flintlock
