Could any of you kind knowledgeable gentlemen give me some idea as to a value for this little flintlock pistol please?
Its in .499 cal, a flintlock muff pistol and made by Patrick of Liverpool. (fine gunsmiths as i understand)
Obviously bought and given to a traveling lady to deter the thief and vagabond and general knicker stealer
It functions on both half and full cock correctly and obviously has not been fired in the last 50yr ...Held as Section 58/2 etc
Its been a wall hanger in my parents home and was given to my father in his shooting days by a dear uncle.
Anyways,Dads in a care home now and mums spent 50yrs cob-webbing the thing and would rather see a new lounge carpet.
Any advise and help would be greatly welcomed
