Miniature pewter finish flintlock pistol and bayonet
Flintlock pistols were used as a self defence weapon and as a military arm
They were commonly used because of their effective range being short and were a good alternative to a sword or cutlass
They came in a variety of sizes and styles, the smallest being six inches and the largest being over twenty inches
The smaller pistols would fit into a typical sized pocket or hand warming muff and were commonly carried by women
The bayonet is a knife, sword, or spike-shaped weapon designed to fit on the end of a rifle’s muzzle, allowing it to be used as a spear
This is the ideal accessory as a display piece on a wall
