.620 bore diameter. 13" steel barrel, NSN. A magnificent and beautifully preserved late 18th-century Ottoman Flintlock Holster Pistol (Kubur), dating to circa 1780–1800. This large-bore cavalry sidearm is a definitive representation of the luxurious, highly decorative status firearms carried by officers, Janissaries, and wealthy elites across the Ottoman Empire during the twilight of the 18th century. Rat-tail style stock made of German Silver, highly chased and carved.  Steel beveled lockplate and hammer. Very attractive and decorative. This Ottoman flintlock holster pistol is in fine condition.
