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.

Please note that this replica firearm is completely decorative. While it has moving parts, it cannot be made to fire live ammo and should not be excessively dry-fired.
