I want to show you a small flintlockpistol of my collection made by RIGBY at Dublin. It has a smooth barrel of 18,00mm calibre and a magazin for three rounds in its butt. I believe that this is a manstopper pistol too.

That is very interesting corrado26. I especially like the built in magazine.

Very nice to see, Corrado.

I did see one sell recently very like this, with the groove down the top of the barrel, by W'm Truelock.
It too was very large calibre and would certainly be a man-stopper!
The French cock on yours says about 1810, though the pan style looks a bit earlier.

Thanks for sharing.

Richard.
