Barrel maker's name: 'LAZARO'. Pistol: 'ACQVA FRESCA', probably Matteo (1651-1738). Steel, the wood stock inlaid with silver. Barrel octagonal at the breech than polygonal for half an inch then round, chiselled at the breech and mid-length with acanthus foliage. The top flat of the breech section is inscribed with the barrel maker's name 'LAZARO', the breech strap being engraved '38'. The lock is engraved with foliage, masks and a terminal figure and with the name of the maker 'ACQVA FRESCA', the inner side of the lockplate being engraved with the date '1690'. The cock is secured to the tumbler by a bolt and nut, the head of the bolt chiselled with a cherub's head. The frizzen incorporates a safety device: on pressing a catch on the back of the steel it may be hinged back leaving a separate cover over the pan. The stock has steel mounts engraved with animals, birds and insects; the buttcap is chiselled with a grotesque mask, another mask forming the escutcheon plate. The stock is inlaid with scroll work in silver, there is no counterplate, the space being filled with silver foliage incorporating a terminal figure threatening a monster with a spear. Pressure on the trigger-guard releases a catch allowing the pistol to be separated into two halves, the butt then serving for the grip of a dagger blade of stiff square section which is concealed below the barrel in the fore-end. The pistol when acquired had a steel ramrod tipped with the figure of a monkey in silver. This was replaced by a wooden rod with plain steel tip (A & B respectively). reference exhibition-1313 adlib-exhibition-1313 a1af3737-e16d-3118-bc9b-7dcc4b70b56b The Essential Horse M.1 & A & B-1996 1 accession number M.1 & A & B-1996 19616 priref 19616 A.N.

It was made by the renowned Italian gunmaker, Matteo Acqvafresca, using a barrel made by the famous Italian barrel makers, the Cominazzo family. reference term-106453 adlib-term-106453 60056370-7375-3dac-996c-6cc9d5db35a9 17th Century, Late reference term-109303 adlib-term-109303 d8bc0ecc-2a38-3fd8-bf17-6b1eba49392e literal Italy Italy country Bargi Length cm 25.8 Weight g 600 reference term-109290 adlib-term-109290 07cd97b3-83d8-3e5e-a793-7025b808b200 flint-lock pistol history note Purchased at Puttick & Simpson, London, 1945.
