Gifted flint lock pistol
« on: November 16, 2023, 08:41:35 PM »
I have recently been gifted this flint lock pistol from my grandfather. He does not  know anything about it. All I have been able to read is P. Bond, Cornhill London.
It seems like my grandfather at one point has tried to clean it to be able to read it.
Any help on trying to learn more about the pistol would be great!
Thank you.

yes, very nice pistol.   And it's in great condition too.  We'll not fault your grandpa for trying to clean up the identifying marks.  The fact that it is still around is a treat. 

Thanks for sharing it here.
