Scots Pistols

[grampaJ]

Just wondering whether there have been books published on history or manufacturing of these beautiful flintlocks. I have come up with zilch so far. Any theories, experiments, experiences, thoughts etc??? GrampaJ in N.C. :bow:

You should look at:

"The Scottish Pistol" by Martin Kelvin (1996) copies run about $50

also, "European Firearms of the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries" by Herbert Jackson and Charles Whitelaw (1960) has a section on Scottish pistols. copies are out there for about $30
