[Oliver Pinchot]

This pistol just came to light, wanted to share it with the forum.
Larger than most I've seen at 33 cm long. Approximately 80 cal.
The engraving is fine, and the motifs are very unusual. Dated 1798 on the lockplate. Ramrod appears to be replaced.

Interested in thoughts about what inspired the decoration of the mounts? I will reserve my own opinions pending member responses.
