German Flintlock Pistol with Brass Barrel

German Flintlock Pistol with Brass Barrel: 17th Century Baroque Replica

Authentic Appearance and Detailed Ornamentation

You will especially appreciate the attention to detail on this replica by the Spanish company Denix.

• Barrel and Fittings: The metal parts are made of Zamak alloy. The barrel and trigger guard have an antique brass finish and are richly decorated with relief floral motifs, giving the pistol a grandiose appearance.
• Stock: It is made of durable polymer that faithfully imitates dark wood with a reddish tint. The grip shape is ergonomic and ends in a massive brass pommel (butt cap). Historically, this did not only serve to balance the weapon; after firing, the pistol was reversed, and the pommel functioned as a striking weapon (club) in close combat.
• Lock: The lock plate and hammer have a steel finish with a grey patina, creating a beautiful contrast to the brass elements.

Movable Mechanism

Although this is a non-firing decoration, the flintlock mechanism is movable and simulates the function of a real weapon:

1. You can cock the hammer.
2. Close the frizzen over the pan.
3. Upon pulling the trigger, the hammer strikes, the frizzen flips open, and the mechanism clicks.

This effect adds credibility to the replica, which you will appreciate during theatre scenes, photoshoots, or at LARP events. The barrel is blocked, and the weapon cannot be modified to fire.

Replica Care

This pistol is made for enjoyment and display, not for rough handling.

• Avoid dropping it on hard surfaces (concrete, tiles). While the zinc alloy is heavy, it is more brittle than steel, and decorative elements could snap off.
• Use a dry, soft cloth for cleaning. Water and moisture could damage the patina or the internal mechanism.
• Lubricate the mechanism occasionally with a drop of silicone oil to keep it running smoothly.
