Sharpe marked secondary martial flintlock pistol. Typical style, marked "SHARPE" on lock, "EXTRA SHARPE PROOF" marked and British proofed barrel. Interesting 1835 engraved and initialed excutcheon plate in grip. Stock is very good, showing average wear, has some cracking in the lock/triggerguard/sideplate area which is stable. Buttcap has some dings from being used as a hammer, with a little minor chipping to the wood in the butt. Mechanically good, sold as a collector item only, not warranted safe to shoot.
