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

 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.
I am the Lead Historian/Firearms Specialist at Rock Island Auction Co., but I am here out of my own personal interests in muzzle loading and history.
