About this work
Flintlock pistol in Empire style. The lock is unadorned except for a signature. The barrel is fitted with an iron front sight and marked at the bottom with a vertical bar with an E, on top with ELG and a star in an oval. The stock is cross-hatched and ends in a flat, octagonal butt cap. The iron furniture includes, among other things, a screw plate in the form of two screw plates for the lock bolts with an extension engraved with foliage attached to it, the angled front and forked rear trigger guard, and the octagonal cheek plate under the stock cap engraved with an eight-petaled fern; the ramrod is fitted with an iron cap.
