17th Century English Flintlock Pistol
|
“Flintlock” pistols were so called because the lock uses a
flint to strike sparks into the priming pan when the trigger is
pulled. A small amount of gunpowder in this pan is ignited,
which in turn ignites the main gunpowder charge in the barrel,
firing the lead ball. Both the main charge and the ball were
loaded from the front, or muzzle, of the barrel, after which the
priming charge was poured into the pan – all very time
consuming! Often the priming charge would burn but fail to
ignite the main charge – whence the expression “flash in the
pan”! The original of this particular flintlock pistol was
made in England at the end of the 17th century. This non-firing
version is accurately detailed - a great costume or conversation
piece.

French Flintlock Pistol/Cutlass
|
In the heyday of the pirate trade, pitched battles at sea
between armed sailing ships were common. Specialized weapons
were developed for such melees, one of them being the Cutlass
Pistol. This weapon allowed a close-quarters shot (accuracy was
limited at best!) and then provided a very useful tool for
shipboard fighting - the cutlass. This short-bladed sword was at
home among the rigging and cluttered decks of a sailing ship,
where a longer sword was at a disadvantage. This non-firing
non-sharpened version makes a great conversation piece.

Armaduras Cup-Hilt Rapier, Bronze Finish
|
Rapiers trace their origins to early 17th century Europe, where
swordplay with the Rapier was considered an essential part of a
gentleman's education and was often used in resolving
gentlemanly disagreements. The Cup-Hilt version was developed in
Spain, which is where this piece by Armaduras Medievales
originates. Gladius’ Renaissance-style swords have functional
440C stainless steel blades, which are fully tempered, but they
are primarily intended for use as collectibles and decorator
pieces, generally with eye-catching detailing.
