A very attractive Dutch flintlock-wender pistol signed I. I. Behr Mastrich. Engraved steel mounts and barrel.

Nice pistol. It looks like the grip had some sort of connection for a stock.

Every time I look at one of these old originals, I am always struck at how thim the barrels were.

Beautiful gun!

Perhaps they weren't trying to turn everything into a "magnum-something-or-other" and loaded for the work the piece was designed to do.

Looks like there was a turnkey to latch it on the shoulderstock. That sure is pretty piece, isn't it?

It looks like it might have been placed in the key hole and rotated 90 degrees. There appears to be room inside the mounting screws.
