Fine Napoleonic Period French Flintlock Blunderbuss Pistol By La Motte, Circa 1795–1805
£1,850 $2,500 €2,129
A scarce and attractive Napoleonic period French flintlock blunderbuss pistol measuring 8.5 inches overall with a 4.25 inch two-stage cannon barrel flared at the muzzle to .86 inches.
The lock signed La Motte A Armes and retaining its original flintlock mechanism in full working order. The form of the lock, cock and barrel profile place the pistol firmly within the Revolutionary / early Empire period.
The finely figured walnut stock is of exceptional quality and retains its original finish, enhanced with delicate gold wire inlay of refined late 18th century taste. The inlay remains crisp and intact. Mounted entirely in steel with correct period furniture including cannon-form sideplate and rounded steel butt cap.
A well-balanced and elegant private purchase defensive pistol of the Napoleonic era, almost certainly intended for civilian or officer use.
An increasingly difficult form to find in such honest and untouched condition.
Circa 1795–1805.
Condition Paragraph
...The pistol is in full working order. The barrel retains a consistent aged surface with strong muzzle definition. The lock functions correctly. The stock remains sharp with no evidence of sanding or refinishing and retains its original gold wire inlay. All mounts appear original and undisturbed. A very sound and authentic example.
