Scottish 1760 Flintlock Pistol, Non-Firing Gun
"Scottish" 1760 Flintlock Pistol, Non-Firing Gun
On a spring day in 1775 the first shot of the American Revolutionary War was
fired at the Battle of Lexington. The 1760 Scottish Flintlock pistol that
started the war is masterfully represented in this non-firing replica. This
all-metal model has moving parts and a heavily detailed and beautifully
embossed finish. A belt hook is in place on the left side for securing the
pistol to the waistband. Rotate the pan, cock the hammer, and pull the trigger
– the hammer falls just as it did in that small Massachusetts town more than 230 years ago.
This elegant and ornate replica represents one of the most significant moments
in American history. It is made of cast zinc alloy barrel & action (Zinc alloy is pretty strong, as zinc is a heavy element and when alloyed with other metals it provides better corrosion resistance, stability, dimensional strength and impact strength. But it is not as strong as stainless steel.)
