1615 - 1660 ENGLISH LOCK PISTOL

 This large cavalry style pistol was first introduced around 1615, and was a simplified version of the Snaphaunce. These lock assemblies fell out of
style with the advent of the Doglock, (which became popular in the 1640's), although the English lock persisted throughout the 1660's.

During this period, many snaphaunce firearms were converted to the English lock. These pistols had a lateral sear, which caught the back of the
cock at full cock, and the dog catch for half cock.

This pistol will fit nicely into the English Civil War period, early colonial, and is also popular for the early pirate period.
