This is a stunning replica of the Double Barrel Pistol designed by Twigg in the UK in the 18th Century, it is made of metal and features plastic grips. This particular design features a brass frame and barrell and an ivory imitation handle with elaborate and eye catching detail. Flintlock pistols were one of the most commonly used firearms by the pirates in the eighteenth century, had a flint or flint stone, which when it was triggered by the hammer produced the spark that ignited the gunpowder. All these guns required to be ammo reload manually after each shot. In combat, generally these weapons were used for a single shot, since the method of reloading was very slow and it was not usually time to recharge. Therefore the fighters after shooting were forced to draw their sabers or swords or to use the pistol as a club if they could not recharge it in time.
