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 and fires 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--which is where we get the expression, "a flash in the pan".

HISTORY: The flintlock pistol was notoriously slow to reload - a severe limitation in close encounters of the dangerous kind. Many solutions to the problem were tried, but one of the more successful was this pistol/ dagger combo, leaving the user with a very effective weapon at hand after the shots had been fired--or maybe not fired, as mis-fires with flintlocks were common. The original of this pistol was made in London, early in the 18th. Century and the skill of the maker is very evident. This non-firing replica is accurate in size and detail - a great costume or conversation piece.
