JAMES BARBAR DOUBLE BARRELED FLINTLOCK PISTOL.

SN NSN. This Revolutionary War era, circa 1750, military sized double barrel pistol measures just over 15″ overall with 9″ 65 cal bbls. Warren Moore in his book Weapons of the American Revolution shows a fairly identical pair of these guns on pg 35. As noted by Moore, an interesting feature of these pistols is the placing of the lockspring on the outside of the locks beneath the frizzen springs. This iron mounted pistol has silver thumbplate and silver mask on the butt, typical of pistols carried by officers during the Revolutionary War. Each bbl and each lock is marked “BARBAR”. This gun appears all orig and authentic. PROVENANCE: Collection of Charles A. Lamb. CONDITION: Very good overall. Markings in steel including bbl proofs and engraved borders of bbl housing and elsewhere are all easily discernible. There is strong traces of org brown finish in protected areas especially on bbl housing. Stock is sound and solid retaining about half of its orig thin varnish finish as does ramrod’s wood body. 4-51865 JS105 (6,000-10,000) – Lot 2484
