Project Description
!!!!!SOLD!!!!! This is an antique 1/4 scale British Tower flintlock pistol by an unknown maker. 3 3/4″ long overall with a 2 1/8″ smoothbore barrel of .19 caliber. The lock is finished in the white and is marked with a crown over GR just ahead of the hammer. The barrel is browned. Brass furniture. Ebony tipped walnut ramrod. Walnut stock. Fully functional, the barrel is bored through to the touch hole and the lock has both half and full cock. Extremely well made with good scale and proportions. Cased in a simulated tortoise shell rounded top cardboard jeweler’s casing with hinged top and push button latch. The interior bottom French fit and lined in a medium brown suede. The interior lid lined in an ivory colored silk, and marked “Weingarten’s Ltd, 157, Bishopsgate, London, E.C.2.” The case measures 5 11/16″ X 1 7/8″ X 7/8″ The pistol is in great condition, I’d call it 95%, with just age, and very minor handling marks. The case does show some wear to the top, sharp edges, and especially to the bottom corners, but is structurally in good shape and still looks good, just looks old! !!!!!SOLD!!!!!
