Weaponscollector.com displays some great flintlock pistols and this Queen Anne is particularly interesting.

Check out the rest of the site too while your there.

 Maybe I've been living under a rock, I've seen many a Queen Anne but this is a first for me after 60+ years at this game.

Hi Dennis,
Thanks for sharing that site.  That pistol is also big bore!

Interesting design. One thing I've been surprised by is how much variety there is in the construction of superimposed load guns. Very few of them I've examined seemed very practical, but they are nonetheless impressive.

Shooting those would be an adventure!
