Pair of early flintlock pistols signed Montaigu A.P. Metz, circa third quarter to late 17th century. Excellent engraving and chiseling on back of the locks and hammer. Lightly engraved barrel and mounts with atrace of gold gilt. 22 1/2" overall, with 15 1/4" barrels of .60 cal. smooth bore. The pair are expertly restocked and correctly formed, carved and aged by a European master craftsman capable of museum qualityrestoration. The locks retain their correct parts. We would not hesitate to estimate this pair over $40,000 if the stocking was period correct. Still a collectable early set. (Antique) Est. $5,000-10,000
