FOR SALE Anyone want an interesting and early project?

[Flintlock1640]

ca 1650s pistol. Lock had an old blacksmith weld fail at the end. The sear spring is broken and bubba got happy adding too big screws for the lock pins and top jaw so those should be replaced with hand made screws. Once you weld a new end on the lock you should be able to fit a real main spring on it. The top jaw they had on it was so bad I just threw it away. Not sure what to think of the brass. Could be old but double 17th century. I do believe the stock, lock, and barrel are all original mid 17th century. Good luck finding another for $400. I accept PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, Cash App, check or money order. It's a fun project and while I could make it better I can't weld so there is only so much I can do.

Any barrel proofs?

No visible proofs. Could be underneath but that's hard to get to.
