Mid 19th Century Ottoman / Balkan Flintlock Holster Pistol

~ Mid 19th Century Ottoman / Balkan Flintlock Holster Pistol ~

A quite well made sturdy piece considering the quality of some of these (definitely no tourist piece). It has a cold chiseled, chased barrel, relief carved walnut stock, a well-made lock, and brass furniture.

The lock and barrels steel work are lightly engraved with Islamic symbols. The stock is engraved with a faux ramrod.

~ Condition ~

Please refer to the images for the condition. There is minor stock loss to the left side of the barrel and loss to the brass work on either side of the grip. The pommel screw is a modern replacement. The action works well on full and half cock with a strong spring.

~ Dimensions ~

The pistol is 39  cm (15.25 inches) in total length with a 23 cm (9 inches) barrel.
