18th Century French Knife Pistol

The flintlock pistol was notoriously slow to reload – a severe limitation in close encounters of the dangerous kind! Many solutions to the problem were tried, but one of the more successful was a pistol/dagger combination, whereby a very effective weapon was still in hand after the shot had been fired (or maybe not fired – misfires with flintlocks were common). The original of this pistol was made in France, early in the 18th. Century and the skill of the maker is very evident. This non-firing replica is accurate in size and detail – a great costume or conversation piece.
