  • Pair Of Brass Barreled Brass Frame Flintlock Boxlock Pocket Pistols

    Pair Of Brass Barreled Brass Frame Flintlock Boxlock Pocket Pistols (Lot: 309)

    An Interesting Pair Of Late 18th Early 19th Century Brass Barreled Brass Frame Flintlock Boxlock Pocket Pistols With Pearl And Staghorn Inlaid Walnut Butts. 

    3 inch cannon muzzle barrels. .45 caliber.

    These pistols came from the world renowned collection of Stembridge Gun Rentals, formerly the principal firearms rental department on the Paramount Pictures lot. They bear deeply stamped Stembridge inventory numbers ‘795’ and ‘796’. These attractive flintlock pistols doubtless were used in any number of Hollywood’s “Golden Era” films. If you take the time and find them in a legendary film their value will increase many times, even exponentially.

    Pistols are unmarked and sparsely engraved with a sunburst. Center hammers with push on safeties. Steel trigger guards with sunburst engraving. Flattened walnut butts are profusely inlaid with scrimshawed mother of pear flowers and stag horn pellets and tendrils.  Brass frame and barrel are deep golden untouched patina.

    Steel hammer and frizzen are deep age brown. Hammers have Stembridge/Paramount Studio metal flints specifically for use in films. Walnut butts have a few age cracks and minor losses to inlay but are most presentable. One action functions the other requires adjustment.

    A fascinating pair that could richly reward some enjoyable cinematic research.

    Starting bid: $ 1,375
