  My mother bought all three of these back in 1955 while visiting her family in Denmark. Antiques were cheap back then. She almost bought a complete suit of armour for $1,500.00... too bad she didn't but that was alot of money back in 1955.
  
  As far as this pistol, she was also told it was probably a pirate's pistol. It actually has three notches on the barrel. Makes you wonder...

  A 'hobby piece' cobbled up in modern times. The lock is the remains of an early 1700s, probably English, flinter. Note the perfect circles on the decor, probably done on a drill press. Not an attempt to defraud, just someone's fanciful project.

  Pirate gun? Not likely.
  
  "Craftsmen" in the Hindu Kush have been decorating guns assembled from parts for sale to tourists for hundreds of years. Strictly a wall hanger.
