Interesting piece, it appears to have been born a percussion pistol.

Interesting piece, it appears to have been born a percussion pistol.

Anything is possible but I believe with close examination of the conversion I think you would also agree it started life as a flintlock.
Due to the flint era style hardware I believe the flintlock was replaced with the percussion.

Another conversion indication is the percussion bolster looking conversion screws into side of the barrel just forward of tip of the breech plug.
This pistol with a bolster type conversion is a bit different, usually percussion conversions on these type pistols were done with a drum.

It is an interesting pistol with it's longer barrel & remains in pretty nice condition for it's age.
Nice quality lock & points well, good candidate to shoot with a barrel liner.

Nice solid .58 cal smooth bore flintlock era Trade pistol with exceptionally long 11" barrel that was later converted to percussion.
Note; Would be easy to convert back to flint as the snail shaped percussion conversion screws in barrel just ahead of the
breech plug same as a conventional drum percussion conversion.
Style of the quality lock on this pistol appears to be European & remains tight & in perfect working condition.

Walnut stock remains solid & has a horn nose cap, ramrod is also tipped in horn.
No markings on the octagon to round barrel or lock, style of the nice quality lock & hammer appears European.
