Runar this is very interesting to say the least.  I have always marveled at these pistols and having been to Edinburg Castle once I've always appreciated Scottish weapons.  I appreciate you sharing this with us all as I have always wondered how they went about building one of these.  Please continue to share the developments.

Is it true that they would shoot their musket and disguard it , fire their pistol and throw it and then draw their sword and attack? seems I read that some where. Good work at any rate thanks for sharing

I dunno Dennis but I bet they didn't try that too often during our Revolution ...  ;D

Thank you JvR, and Dave the hammer is now in place as you can see in photo the forward end of the sear-lever projects through the square hole, to give half-cock ;)

It's been a long time since this was commented on, but I just discovered it. Fantastic work Runar. I learned a lot from this build, you did a fantastic job on it. Did you do any engraving on it?

Always nice to watch what some build or rework here something I would like to show. A friend of mine has an italian replica of a scottish pistol I made three small changes to it I know the one on the hammer is not entirely correct but he is very happy with it.

Monty that is one good looking replica (not to take anything anyway from Runar's excellent scratch build).  Apparently the Italian's knew something more than the current crop of India cartoon replicas.

I found a nice original Isaac Bissell used by the Royal Highlands Regiment (later to become known as the Black Watch) at this location - https://www.gunsinternational.com/guns-for-sale-online/pistols/antique-pistols---1500-1850/scottish-royal-highlands-regiment-flintlock-pistol-revolutionary-war-era-pistol.cfm?gun_id=100805793

It would be a nice one to copy - there are 14 photos for future reference.



Nice work Runar and you also Monty.
