Three-Barrel Flintlock Pistol with Eagle Head – 18th Century Replica
Unique Design and Operation
This replica is not just a static piece of metal. Its charm lies in its moving mechanism. It is a so-called "turn-over pistol," a predecessor to modern revolvers. The barrel cluster can be rotated manually. The flintlock mechanism is fully functional – you can cock the hammer, pull the trigger, and release the lock (dry fire). The flint is simulated by a metal casting for durability. The antique brass finish of the barrels is adorned with fine floral engravings, contrasting beautifully with the dark faux wood of the grip and the silver-tone lock.
Dangerous or Safe? Here's What You Should Know About Firearm Replicas
Historical Context: More Shots, Higher Survival Rate
In the 18th century, when loading a single-shot pistol took even an experienced marksman dozens of seconds, gunsmiths sought ways to increase firepower. The solution was multi-barreled weapons. This specific type with a rotating barrel cluster allowed the shooter to fire, manually rotate the barrels, and fire again immediately. It was a favorite weapon of sea captains and wealthy travelers, for whom this piece of "high technology" could save their lives when outnumbered. The eagle head on the pommel often symbolized the power and strength of the owner.

How to Care for the Pistol
Although the weapon is made of a durable alloy, it deserves care to bring you joy for years to come. Occasionally polish the metal parts with a dry, soft cloth to remove fingerprints and dust. You can treat the moving parts of the mechanism and the barrel pivot pin with a drop of silicone oil from time to time. Avoid dropping it on hard ground – the zinc alloy is heavy but can be brittle upon impact.
Important Warning
Please bear in mind that this is exclusively a decorative replica. The barrels are solid (non-bored), and the weapon cannot be modified to fire. Never insert gunpowder or pyrotechnics into it. Although the mechanism is movable, we do not recommend frequent dry firing to avoid excessive wear on the mainspring and hammer.
A wooden desk stand would be a perfect match for this massive pistol to highlight its beauty.
