Hello,

I need some help with some flint lock pistols I bought in an estate deal. I am going to list theses here on GB but I don't know what to even put in the title. I will start off with pictures from the first gun, I have a total of three. I will sell them all at auction on GB so I would really appreciate some of your help to tell me what they are, how old they may be and how much they should go for please.

All you out there chime in...
Thanks.
Chris




Will post pics of the next gun in another post...

  Again if anyone can help me identify these so I can at least place a title on the auction that would be great.

  First pistol with belt hook is Spanish, apparently miquelet type flint. Difficult to tell much about it with pix showing it piecemeal. Barrel looks like possibly shortened from its original length. Second is likely French as early as pre1800, probably converted to percussion from flint.

  I will try and take some better photos this monday or tuesday. What would you name titles for the auction as for either gun?
  
  Spanish miquelet 1800s flintlock pistol ?
  
  Converted French 1800s Percussion Double Barrel Pistol ?
  
  Thank you very much.
