Pistol probably dates to the last quarter of the 17th century. Started life as a snaphaunce but evidently the mechanism broke as it was converted 1st quarter 18th looking at the style of the frizzen. Great shape as shown, $800 plus shipping obo

I added pictures without the pistol showing my walk as a form of watermark. Gonna be hard for someone to steal those pictures with that background.

I am more interested in the lock signed by Ghini that you posted some time ago and of which I am attaching photos. How much do you sell it for?

What caliber and is it operational?
Sorry for the delay. It is .56 caliber and the lock functions as it should. There is good meat on the barrel so I'm sure it would be perfectly safe to use. I will drop the price to $650 as an apology for my delay. I have been working 20+ hours a week on an estate on top of my regular full time job and quite frankly I forgot about it
Regards
Sam
