Lot 13: Pistol by: Lowell Haarer

This gorgeously constructed and aged flintlock pistol was built by Lowell Haarer. He based his work on pistols from Augusta and Rockbridge County Virginia. The fine piece is stocked in curly maple and features both raised and incised carving, handmade brass fittings,  sterling silver inlay and a poured pewter muzzlecap. The lock is a specially modified Chambers small Siler lock, while the .50 cal barrel is a 10” swamped Rice barrel with a 1:20 twist. The gun is accompanied by the target and load data that Lowell worked up, ensuring you know exactly the way to make the pistol as accurate as possible. This is a great opportunity to own a gorgeous piece of the past.
