This English pistol is stocked in walnut stained to a dark brown. The neatly fitted nickel silver furniture has a hand burnished appearance and nicely compliments the tone of the stock. The octagon-to-round barrel and the small Queen Anne lock are both finished armory bright. This pistol would make an excellent holster pistol for a Revolutionary War impression. Hand assembled by builder Kenneth Lincavage. The builder notes that this pistol developed a hair-line crack at the front of the lock mortise after initial construction. Neatly repaired, almost invisible, it has remained stable over time and use.

The 10" octagon-to-round barrel has a 4" octagon breech with a single wedding band to round. The .50 caliber bore is rifled with seven lands and grooves. The bore is bright and has been well maintained. In holster pistol fashion, which was intended to be used at close range, the barrel does not have any sights mounted.

Viewed from above the grip is fitted with a nickel silver thumbpiece. The stock is shaped with graceful slender proportions.The triggerguard is correctly mounted with pins. All of the nickel silver furniture is finished bright. The slender 5/16" diameter ramrod is shaped with a flared tip, it does not have any provisions for threaded accessories. We recommend using a .50 caliber pistol loading rod, our #PL-6-50, and leaving this well fitted ramrod with the pistol. Two polished and blued domed head lock bolts secure the small Queen Anne flint lock. The burnished nickel sideplate has a English influence with a long pointed tail.

Finished bright to contrast the barrel, the small Queen Anne flintlock has a crisp action and a well hardened frizzen. The rounded plate, pan, and the elegant cock are of London's best style, popular from 1730 to 1770. When using our best 3/4" knapped English gun flints, #FLINT-ENG-6, the lock will throw a shower of sparks into the pan. A stainless steel White Lightnin' vent liner is well centered and positioned at the top edge of the pan to provide best ignition.
