Antique Bissell Flintlock Pistol
Antique Scottish Bissell .24 Bore Flintlock Pistol. Full steel construction, with full working mechanism and in good, original condition. 8 inch smoothbore barrel, with double Tower crowned crossed sceptre ordnance proofs, eleven petal blossom grip engravings, with ramrod, touch hole cleaner, and belt hook. The flintlock mechanism was introduced at the beginning of the 17th century and was in use for over two centuries. Flintlock pistols were used as self-defence weapons and as military arms. Their effective range was short, and they were frequently used alongside a sword or cutlass. The pistols could even be used as clubs themselves.
