I needed a flintlock for a D&D character that could be reloaded fast enough it made sence doing so cost no actions and this fits the bill perfectly, thanks for a good refrence video and site ^^
Incredible. I've been watching a lot of historical firearms channels in the last few years and this is the earliest breechloader I can remember. And with a metal cartridge! I know a c1850s American rifle had reusable metal cartridges (with percussion cap nipples at the base) but this is much earlier. This pistol's cartridge would have ameliorated the blowback from the unsealed breech. Very beautiful decorative work indeed, but not as beautiful as the originality and ingenuity of the design.
Its always a pleasure to hear the input of those who share our appreciation for the beauty and importance of historical firearms, I'm very glad you enjoyed!
I am helping a friend with parting of her late husbands flintlock. I’m guessing 1700s “Desden style” as that is as close to an image I can find that looks like it. Do you know where I can find info on these? Love these antique firearms. Loved to get myself: but got too much stuff already. Very informative vid. Thanks for posting.
