What do ya think?
About 30 years ago the now deceased owner of my company found this flintlock pistol in the woods while out hunting. It was found in upstate New York in the Liberty area off Rt.17 Now I know that area was a hotbed of action during the Revolution but who knows. The barrel has since rusted away and there are no markings at all anywhere. I have taken the lock out and this pistol is very much hand made and by Parker standards very crude internally. Even the screws are hand filled. Can any of you black powder guys venture a guess as to country of origin or a possible time frame for this great relic?
