Vietnamese Flintlock

[Tim Simmons]

I had something very similar. The barrel was from a 19th century Belgian sporting gun. The barrel had originally been bound to the stock with rattan, which had been replaced with aluminium. These are more like a big pistol or I would think fired from the hip. Fascinating things, I wish I had kept mine now but you live and learn. Rather like the very first guns in the early medieval period.
