Original Item: Only One Available. Specifically produced in England for the North American Fur Trade, this is a Flintlock Trade pistol intended for the use of the Trappers and the Native American population as well.
The barrel is marked LONDON on the top, and bears numerous London Proof House Marks near the breech. The lock plate is marked faintly with SQUIRES / & Co., and the pistol has all brass mounts. W. SQUIRES worked in London from 1777 – 1800.
These pistols were widely distributed to the Native American populations in both the United States and Canada during the early years of the 1800’s. Barrel measures 9″ and is about .65 bore, and comes complete with brass tipped Ram Rod. In nice display condition just what one would have expected to see on the North American frontier.
Perfect for any Early American collection!
