Product Description
ORNATE Antique MEDITERANEAN/OTTOMAN Style Flintlock HORSE/NAVAL Pistol
INLAID STOCK Late-18th / Early 19th Century Pistol
Here we present an antique Mediterranean/Ottoman Style Flintlock Horse Pistol, made circa the end of the 18th century. Pistols like these were commonly used around the Mediterranean in the 18th and early 19th Centuries. This pistol was likely made in Europe, possibly Italy. The aesthetic, both in form and décor, are European, though there are several designs throughout that are indicative of Ottoman ownership.
This would have been like those weapons carried by Tripolitan pirates when the young United States sent the Marines to take care of them. This is a large pistol used for fighting but it was also a status symbol with its inlays in the stock.
The overall condition is good. Strong action. The bore is in good shape for its age. Solid wood. Markings atop the barrel are legible, but not discernible. Some small lengths of wire inlays are missing, but they’re tough to point out without direct inspection.
Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.
Barrel is 11 inches.
Caliber: .58 Flintlock
