Hello,

I would like to introduce here an Italian flintlock pistol. Overall length is 45 cm. Lock type "alla Romana". Rootwood stock with brass furniture, with rich decorations. Wooden ramrod with iron tip.
Barrel is signed "...RINO * COMINAZZO *". According to "Brescian Firearms", it could be No.70 (p.258), used from 1650 to 1700: * LAZARINO * COMINAZZO *.
I would date the pistol to the mid of 18th century, based on the brass furniture style and execution.

Looking forward to your comments and suggestions!
