Exquisite and very ornate Baltic flintlock - Circa 1810 to 1850  - This is a fully functional flintlock pistol representing the transitional period between fine European wood work and fine Eastern metal work as a development of bigger loads and heavier recoil would split wood!  Silver bronze stock with high relief floral pattern  throughout - makes this a truly eye grabbing museum piece that is very rare - indeed !  Fully functional lock and frizen with half cock - over all pistol is in excellent working condition and totally pristine. Barrel is deeply engraved along sight radius area and shows 90 percent of the original Fleur-de-lis pattern on the top of the barrel  -  Makers mark along left side of barrel but otherwise unsigned - Overall length 16 inches and weighs considerably more than most ( 2 lbs. total weight ) due to addition silver bronze full stock and muzzle shroud which surely added to its handling ability.  A unique, very fine, and enchanting  58 Caliber flintlock pistol !
