Scottish Highland C1750, Scroll-butt Flintlock Pistol By John Campbell Of Doune, Circa 1750–1755
£8,500 $11,487 €9,784
A good original example of a Scottish Highland scroll-butt (ram’s horn) flintlock pistol by John Campbell of Doune, dating from the mid-18th century, circa 1750–1760. Constructed in the traditional all-steel manner associated with the Doune school of gunmaking, the pistol is finely chased and engraved throughout with foliate scrollwork and geometric decorative panels. The lock is signed “J. Campbell / Doune,” and the pistol displays the characteristic ram’s-horn butt, pierced heart-pattern sideplate, belt hook and ball trigger typically encountered on Highland pistols of the period.
The grip is fitted with an oval silver wrist cartouche engraved with the initials “AB,” likely representing a period owner’s monogram. The barrel and mounts retain clear decorative engraving, and the pistol measures approximately 32 cm overall length.
Doune, near Stirling, was the principal centre of Highland pistol manufacture during the 18th century, producing the distinctive all-metal pistols tradi...tionally carried as part of Highland dress. John Campbell is recorded among the gunmakers working in Doune during the mid-18th century.
A well-executed and attractive example of a classic Doune Highland pistol, retaining its distinctive form and decorative detail.
Collectors Note
Scottish arms, pistols from the period immediately after the 1745 Jacobite rising are especially interesting historically, as they represent the continuation of the Highland pistol tradition during a time of major change in Highland society.
Pistols of this type were traditionally carried in the belt as part of Highland dress and served as personal arms, sometimes referred to as Highland fighting or belt pistols.
