Pair of Flintlock Pistols

Pair of Flintlock Pistols. Culture: Italian, Brescia. Dimensions: L. of each 22 1/2 in. (57.2 cm); L. of each barrel 15 13/16 in. (40.2 cm); Cal. of each .52 in. (13.2 mm); Wt. of each 1 lb. 15 oz. (879 g). Gunsmith: Girolamo Francino (Italian, Brescia, recorded 1666-1709). Date: ca. 1650-60. The Francino gunsmiths of Brescia and Gardone were celebrated.

The delicately pierced steel ornament inlaid to be flush with the surface of the stock is a characteristic design feature of Brescian firearms of this period.
