Flintlock ID Help
Hey guys. I have this Flintlock pistol. Looks old and the guy I got it from (who is pushing 60) said he got it from his father. But....I can't find 1 marking on it to save my life to try and ID it or date it. Starting to think maybe it's not as old as he and I thought and it's just a kit gun. Anyone able to shed some light? Thanks!

Modern-made Mideast tourist piece. Probably Afghan or Pakistani. No collector value. Sorry. 0 -

Are you saying it's an inoperable novelty? The hole for the spark to reach the charge is there and I cocked that sucker and sparks were flying when I pulled the trigger...hehe sort of scared me. I think it's been fired before as the stock is cracked. Thanks!! You're probably right....looks very cheap.0 -
I for one would not fire that VERY CRUDE item The stock may be cracked because someone used SMOKELESS powder.[V][xx(] How much do you value your eyes and maybe your life. [?][?][?] It has no PROOF MARKS [V][V][V] 0 -
It's a hobby gun someone made using an old lock and parts from various sources. No collector value whatever but might have some interest as a decorator. The lock is a variation on the idea of a Spanish miquelet lock. 0
