SOLD - Pending funds Custom built 1801 French Cavalry Flintlock Pistol

[Relic shooter]

Forum member's client buyer backed out, pistol back up for sale.

SEE SHORT VIDEO BELOW OF SPARKS THIS PISTOL PRODUCES

I acquired components for this attractive French military style pistol years ago while while I was still gunsmithing & building custom guns.
It has a vintage patina similar to a French original of the same model in my collection at the time..

This brass & steel wrapped battle pistol has only been fired a few times so the .68 cal. smooth bore remains smooth as new.
All internals of the lock including springs & frizzen have been tuned & polished to produce a shower of sparks with a nice 3lb trigger pull.
The walnut stock also remains in perfect condition with no cracks or damage.

*Photos are in high resolution so can be zoomed in for detail.

I've very fairly priced this custom built pistol at $595. plus actual Priority shipping & insurance & prefer USPO Money Order as payment.
Sorry no trades, I'm 82 & time to thin down the herd.
Feel free to PM me with any questions.
Thanks for looking.

Thanks Smokey,
Yep it's a hoot to shoot !
I've always felt French military flint era pistols were not only very attractive but were the
toughest built of any military pistol of that era.

& finished it with a vintage patina similar to an original I owned at the time.

Pistol measures just under 14" long.

Thanks Smokey.
Recoil is not bad but would not want to be recipient of the charge or the butt end during close combat.

The French martial arms a second to none, and this looks a FANTASTIC example of one!!
