Blank Fire Flintlock Pistols - Doglock & Sea Service

Doglock pistols (1618 - 1775) and Sea Service pistols (1716 - 1812)
These models were ubiquitous in the European and American wars, (1618 - 1812) and crossed over and were both used, for around 60 years.
I make these to order, and deposits are required for each pistol ordered. I no longer hold them in stock "just in case"

£500 each. Deposit £350. Balance + P&P at shipping

Cyanide Frizzen Hardening

After polishing the Frizzen face to remove the worst gouges, it is heated to hardening temperature, dipped into my own carbon-cyanide rich compound, then held at temperature, then "quenched" in water.
This is followed by tempering (a soak at a lower temperature) which develops the final mechanical properties and relieves stresses. it is then cooled in a traditional natural oil.
I use my own proprietary compound blend of ancient and modern chemicals for carbon steel hardening.
