I've always been fascinated by early double barrel pistols, and the craftsmanship that would need to go into a double barrel wheellock like this is almost mindblowing.
that is so cool, besides pictures, the only guns that I have seen like that were in the museums in the castles in Germany, if you have a chance to tour some of them, they are quite incredible. That is so cool, that you have the chance to inspect the guns that you do.
What do you mean by "only reported multi-shot pistol of it's type"? There are many examples of double-barreled wheellocks. What is the "type" that you are using to categorize this firearm as one-of-a-kind?
4:51 I think that trigger guard might not be original to the gun. It covers that bone inlay and it's rougher than the rest of the pistol. Maybe it didn't have one when it was made or it had some other style and was replaced later.
Not more difficult than cleaning a modern multishot weapon. Clamp the springs, unscrew everything, wash the parts in hot soap water, dry them, see to it that no sulphuric salts stay on the wood (they corrode it), wash out the barrel, rub it dry, put the thing together again and oil it.
I have reasons to believe that this went with the "breach loading wheel-lock Musket" they both share the same bone carved creatures on them. This probably the side arm for it but in the video for it. The musket was for sport but that doesn't mean it can't be used in battle. Edit: not the same bone detail, I take that back but still pretty sure!
@@tatumergo3931 Of Course they were common. He even mentioned that sometimes Archeologists find Loads of them in Castles & Fortresses. From Simple to Moderate Details to Extream. My point was it looked pretty similar to Another pistol he Reviewed.
Very nice have you ever come across a DB flintlock bronze in color pistol with a blade underneath with trigger guards the triggers come from underneath within the piece. How can I find out the cost or where can I go to get information Thanks.
Hey John, I've not come across what you describe, but I encourage you to search on the big auction house online catalogs. Odds are they've had one at some point.

Definitely Joel! They are wonderful works of art
That's not a firearm it's a work of art . It's should be a in a showcase.
I never knew I needed one of these but now I do.
Everyone needs one.

That's a beautiful pure work of art gun.
That pistol looks like it is out of a heavy metal flick from the 1600's
At 13:44 I believe the safety catch serves to control the firing between simultaneous and sequential.

I believe it’s based on the nature of the lock and pans

Good eye!
Golly day, imagine being the guy who had to clean that mechanism after a day of shooting...

Those engraved figures on the back are Fauns
Thank you!

Just curious, where have you seen that breechloading wheellock? Sounds cool!
