EARLY 1800s Spanish PATILLA MIQUELET Flintlock .69 Caliber “MILITIA” Pistol Popular Throughout EUROPE and the OTTOMAN EMPIRE
Description: EARLY 1800s Spanish PATILLA MIQUELET Flintlock .69 Caliber “MILITIA” Pistol Popular Throughout EUROPE and the OTTOMAN EMPIRE Here we present an antique Spanish Patilla, or “Militia” Miquelet Holster Pistol, made circa 1820 in Spain. The miquelet was an early and sturdy form of flintlock popular throughout Europe and the Ottoman Empire from the seventeenth into the early twentieth century A “Miquelet” is a type of flintlock developed in Spain. It is a distinctive form of snaplock, originally as a flint-against-steel ignition form, once prevalent in Spain, Portugal, Ital, the Balkans, North Africa and the Ottoman Empire from the late 16th to the mid-19th centuries. The miquelet lock, with its combined battery and pan cover was the final innovative link that made the flintlock mechanism possible. It proved to be both the precursor and companion to what we now call the "true" flintlock. This pistol saw a lot of Spanish history pass in its lifetime. This pistol has the distinctive patilla miquelet lock that continued to be used in Spain, Southern Europe, and other Mediterranean states long after northern regions had adopted the true flintlock. The overall condition is good. Strong action. The bore is smooth and remains in good shape for its age. The butt of the grip is cracked, but sits firmly in place braced against the brass pommel. Markings are legible. Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 11 inches. Caliber: .72 Miquelet Overall condition as seen in photos. Very Fast. Very Safe. FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE. Delivered directly to your door by express mail! Guaranteed AUTHENTIC & Includes CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY. ancestryguns $1800 #233684 SOLD Antique: Yes |
