This Georgian antique weapon is an 18th century flintlock Queen Anne-type greatcoat pistol by I Parr, London, dating from 1750. Constructed from walnut, steel, and brass, it presents a warm brown wooden grip with a cast brass grotesque mask pommel, a steel turn-off cannon barrel, and an engraved brass frame featuring foliate decoration. The flintlock mechanism includes a cock, frizzen, and pan assembly, paired with a trigger enclosed inside a curved brass trigger guard. It measures 12 cm high, 23 cm wide, and 3 cm deep. Suitable for a gentleman's library or study, this piece works well displayed as a decorative item on a bookshelf or within a cabinet. The design includes visible London proof marks, a signed and engraved rounded box lock, and a smooth curved bag butt. The contrasting metal components combine the dark tone of the steel barrel with the golden finish of the brass frame and fittings.

FAQs

A Queen Anne pistol is characterized by its turn-off barrel, which screws directly into the front of the breech frame rather than being held into a wooden stock with pins or bands.

These pistols were constructed using steel or iron for the mechanical lock components and barrels, cast brass or silver for frames and mountings, and dense hardwoods such as walnut for the stocks.

Authentic period examples feature period-correct maker marks or proof marks on the barrel and frame, hand-engraved scrollwork, precise screw-thread fitting on turn-off barrels, and appropriate surface patination on metal and wood.

Antique sidearms are typically displayed mounted in custom glass presentation cases, set on brass stands on library shelves, or arranged within framed shadow boxes on accent walls.

Preservation involves keeping the piece in a climate-controlled environment, applying microcrystalline wax to wood and metal surfaces to prevent oxidation, and avoiding aggressive chemical cleaners.
