Early to Mid-18th century flintlock pistols signed "Le Maire" with fancy silver lion head butt caps and screw off cannon type barrels. Measures 10 3/4" overall and the barrels measure approximately 6 1/4" from muzzle tothe touch hole. Original flintlock parts. Some light cleaning with minor erosion, slight pitting and just normal metal age. The stocks show tight refinishing and minor restoration that is well done. The silvercaps are impressive and not rubbed out with small hallmarks that are illegible and typical French. (Antique) La Maire was a Huguenot maker that moved from France circa 1710. The pair shows the influence of both side of the channel. Est:$2500-5000
