This 17th century flintlock features a snaphaunce lock, wood stock with sim. brass furniture. Made by Denix with quality woods and metals. Pirate pistol at a fraction of the cost of the real thing! Flintlock pistols were one of the main weapons of pirates. Piracy is a robbery committed at sea, or sometimes on the shore, without a commission from a sovereign nation (robbery with sovereign commission is privateering, and distinct from piracy). In the popular modern imagination, pirates of the classical period were rebellious, clever teams who operated outside the restricting bureaucracy of modern life. In reality, many pirates ate poorly, did not become fabulously wealthy, and died young. Features |
