bayonet with scabbard and a flintlock pistol that dates to before
1830. One antique arms dealer described this model of pistol as,
"English Flint Pistol by Sharpe, Made for the American Trade. 9"
round brass barrel, .58 cal...a class of pistol that armed many
Militia officers and Militia cavalry troopers, wagon drivers and
canal and river boatmen, as well as citizens from New York to St.
Louis in the 1800 to 1840's era." This is missing the forward part of
the wood stock,but based on the patina on the barrel and the rest of
the wood, it has been missing for a long time. These typically sell
for about $800-2000. I am asking $360 for this one.
THE PISTOL HAS BEEN SOLD
The socket bayonet is $120. It is hard to find these with the
scabbard. This one is dated 1/83 both the scabbard and the blade are
marked, including with the broad arrow and WD mark of the British War
Department.
