FINE AND RARE BRASS MOUNTED ITALIAN LONG FLINTLOCK HOLSTER PISTOL SIGNED LAZARINO COMINAZZO EARLY 18TH CENTURY CIRCA 1720.

SN NSN. This beautiful Italian holster pistol has a convex lockplate chiseled and inlaid with gold scrolls, and accents, swan neck cock en suite, engraved “B. Foloni” (?) on gold oval. The long barrel is flattened on both sides at the breech, inlaid with gold rings, scrolling wire for a quarter of its length beginning at the breech and has a brass foresight at the muzzle. “LAZARINO” and “COMINAZZO” are in gold inlays on top. The triggerguard, spurred buttcap, thumbpiece, ramrod pipes and ramrod cap are cast, engraved, and chased in relief, formerly gilt with traces of fire mercury gilding. The burl walnut fullstock displays excellent figure and is finely carved in relief behind the barrel tang, and rear ramrod pipe.

PROVENANCE: Collection of Dr. Douglas Sirkin. CONDITION: Brass mounts are good retaining traces of original fire gilding. Lock is gray steel but gold inlays are intact.
