I got this Flintlock pistol from my Grandpa. It was most likely made around 1820, by Sharpe of London. It's a relatively crude gun sold as a trade pistol most likely for sea service as it's got a Brass barrel (smoothbore) or possibly furtrade. I've only fired it with light charges and undersized round balls (.575) bore measures out at .60
