Here is a 1650
DUTCH Wheelock pistol.
I thought that you might not only enjoy looking @ it, but it has some decorating features that I find interesting.
PLEASE comment . I would like know your thoughts
The stock is Ebony
There are 2 distinct types of decoration on this gun.
1. Decoration on the steel parts.
A. it appears to me to be not as "fine" ( or "cruder") as the other "steel" engravings i have looked at Is the "COARSENESS" do to the "heavy" design or to the engraver
???
2. The silver work.
A. This tome seems to be a combination of engraving & inlay work
???
B. this also seems to be not as "fine"
???
Thank you
Puffer
