Flintlock muff or hand warmer pistol
« on: February 28, 2023, 04:13:52 AM »
 i have this little lady's pistol that I picked up over 15 years ago. It is French...under the  barrel in script says... Croizier A Paris Cour Neuve du Palad. Very finely made and only 5 inches long. Trigger pops out when cocked. I am wondering if there is somebody out there who can make the top jaw and screw without charging an arm and a leg.

While that one definitely appears to be straight muzzleloading, msome that size were screw barrel pistols
where the barrel unscrewed for loading & shot an oversized, bare ball.

No, the barrel is only 1 inch long and unscrews for loading. It is about 40 caliber

There is a lug on the bottom of the barrel which engages a key that goes over the barrel, and the barrel can be unscrewed for loading...we're all on the same page!

Chris Hirsch does have a small French lock kit that the top jaw might fit.
