An early Germanic flintlock pistol dated by the supplier to around 1670 to 1690, in .62 caliber with a 12-inch barrel, listed used as antique handgun SKU 67556. The barrel carries a pleasing brown patina. The butt cap, side plate and trigger guard are brass worked in a scroll and interlaced pattern, and the lock, which has a dark brown patina of its own, is engraved with scrollwork.

The lock has the curved banana profile, and the stock shows some carving. Overall the wood is very good, with small handling wear and a small chip on the left side near the muzzle. This is a decorative early flintlock for a Delaware collector of continental arms; it has no range role. As with every handgun on this site, the dealer transfer needs the state purchaser permit or a current carry license, and the permit application is decided within 30 days once complete.
