A luxury flintlock pistol

A very attractive pistol, Fernando. Congratulations to your friend. The style is mid 18th century which fits perfectly with the possible date of 1755. and almost certainly one of a pair; alas so many pairs were split up by later owners who were ignorant or needed money desperately.

Thank you Neil. He should be twice as happy, as the price was also very attractive
