A fine pair of original flintlock, American Revolutionary era officer's pistols by Andreas Gans, Augsburgh, Bavaria, circa: 1740-1760.

  They represent the classic Germanic style of the early to mid 1700's. The Augsburgh marked locks are in beautiful, completely original condition with all markings sharp and clear.

  One pistol has evidence of a very old and minor wood repair at the wrist. The 1/2 octagon, 1/2 round barrels are 7/12" long with very deep rifling as shown in the photograph.

  I believe the wood has a very light varnish from many years ago. the original staghorn caps are still attached to the wood at the muzzles. The pleasant patina found on the barrels from age, gives these 265 year old pistols their warmth and value.

  Before the American Revolution these officer style pistols belonged to someone in history. The present and next owners are only caretakers in our time.
