This is a pretty fabulous ca 1750s German pistol with nice engraving. Unfortunately it needs some work. My price probably doesn't even cover the parts individually. Interesting and very pretty wood. Maybe some kind of burl? The pistol is over 20" long. The barrel is 13.5" and flares at the end to 11/16". You can really picture this butt as a skull crusher. The bore is hard to gauge without a caliper but looks to be about .60. if you can do the repairs this is probably a few thousand dollars. As it is I'll sell it for $800 plus shipping. PayPal, Zelle, or Cash App available for online payment or you can always send a check or money order if you prefer.

I spent a couple hours yesterday and made a trigger plated and fitted an appropriate trigger for it so at least now the lock functions.
