DANIEL THIERMAY BRASS MOUNTED FLINTLOCK PISTOL. SN NSN. Cal. .565 Bore diameter. 8-3/4″ Octagon to round, slightly swamped, bbl has brass breech plug and inset front sight. Rear of bbl is stamped with three indecipherable makers marks, and “D T” (Daniel Thiermay) is in gold inlaid square poincon. Lock with serpentine cock, inset pan, unbridled friction frizzen, and frizzen spring with fleur di lis tip, has slightly arched and rounded plate, engraved “Thiermay”. European walnut stock has shadow line carving around lock and all furniture. Raised relief carved fleur di lis are at rear of top tang, and behind tailpipe. All furniture is of heavy brass. Trigger guard is chamfered. Sideplate, trigger guard bow, and grip cap have very finely sculpted relief grotesque masks with some stippled background. Beaded and faceted brass pipes hold ebony ramrod. CONDITION: Very good. Bbl retains most of an old brown, silvered on high edges. Lock is cleaned to silver over some pinprick pitting. Cock is old, and appears to be correct for gun, but is a replacement. Retaining screw is new. Brass furniture is excellent, with full detail, and is nicely toned back from an old cleaning. Stock has most of an old oil finish. 8-76289 MGM93 (1,800-2,500)
