The Pistol

This contemporary flintlock pistol was inspired by the work of Jacob Young, rifle maker of Sumner County, Tennessee. This pistol has appeared previously in this blog (see first three entries for October 2011) with the original rifle that inspired it.

From the author's collection

Jacob Young inspired pistol

This pistol was exhibited at the CLA show and purchased by a private collector. It has since been returned to Jud to have a custom made lock fitted.
