We Accept French boarding blunderbuss iron Ref: FP10107 With a longer barrel than the weapon favored by the pirates, resulting in increased range and accuracy, these blunderbusses are more likely to have been used by navy boarding parties or by merchantmen in defense of their cargos. The multiple lead balls that these pieces were capable of firing would undoubtedly have great effect in a crowded shipboard situation.

French Cavalry Flintlock Pistol, ca. 1800 Ref: FD1011 "Flintlock" pistols were so called because the lock uses a flint to strike sparks into the priming pan when the close up trigger is pulled. A small amount of gunpowder in this pan is ignited, which in turn ignites the main gunpowder charge in the barrel, firing the lead ball. Both the main charge and the ball were loaded from the front, or muzzle, of the barrel, after which the priming charge was poured into the pan - all very time consuming! Often the priming charge would burn but fail to ignite the main charge - whence the expression "flash in the pan"! The original of this particular flintlock pistol was made for the French cavalry at the end of the 18th century. This non- firing version is accurately detailed - a great re-enactment or conversation piece.

Italian Percussion Pistol, ca. 1825 Ref: FD1013L "Caplock" or "Percussion Lock" pistols were so called because the lock system causes a percussion cap to be close up struck by the hammer when the trigger is pulled. Powder inside the cap ignites and this in turn ignites the main powder charge, which propels a lead ball from the barrel. Most (though not all) caplock firearms were loaded from the muzzle of the gun (muzzleloaders). The Caplock was a great improvement over the flintlock as it was less susceptible to weather-related misfires. The original of this pistol was made in Brescia, Italy in about 1825. This non-firing version is accurately detailed and shows typical Italian craftsmanship - a great costume or conversation piece.

ITALIAN TRIPLE BARREL FLNTLOCK PISTOL, CA. 1680 Ref: FD1016G "Flintlock" pistols were so called because the lock uses a close up flint to strike sparks into the priming pan when the trigger is pulled. A small amount of gunpowder in this pan is ignited, which in turn ignites the main gunpowder charge in the barrel, firing the lead ball. Both the main charge and the ball were loaded from the front, or muzzle, of the barrel, after which the priming charge was poured into the pan - all very time consuming! Often the priming charge would burn but fail to ignite the main charge - hence the expression "flash in the pan"! The original of this particular flintlock pistol was made by Lorenzi in Italy in about 1680 and the engraved coat of arms is that of the famous Medici family. This non-firing version is accurately detailed - a great costume or conversation piece

English Flintlock Pistol Dagger, Early 18th. Century Ref: FD1023 The flintlock pistol was notoriously slow to reload - a severe limitation in close encounters of the dangerous kind! Many solutions to the problem were tried, but one of the more successful was a pistol/dagger combination, whereby a very effective weapon was still to hand after close up the shots had been fired (or maybe not fired - misfires with flintlocks were common). The original of this pistol was made in London, early in the 18th. century and the skill of the maker is very evident. This non-firing replica is accurate in size and detail - a great costume or conversation piece.

Kentucky Flintlock Pistol Ref: FD1198

Made by the same gunsmiths who crafted the fabled close up Kentucky rifles, these late 18th/early 19th Century pistols were actually made in Pennsylvania, Virginia and Maryland. The "Kentucky" name came as a result of the Battle of New Orleans, which was substantially won by two thousand riflemen from Kentucky, armed with the rifles and pistols that quickly became known by the name of their adoptive state. Famed for their accuracy, the pistols exhibited the clean, uncluttered lines of their rifle cousins, as clearly shown in this non-firing version.

KEY FEATURES: * Non-fireable * Functional lock mechanism * Accurate detailing
