A Flintlock Queen Anne Pistol by D. Wynn. With round three-stage barrel, belled at the muzzle, fitted with horn tipped ramrod beneath, stamped with London proofs and Wynns own barrel smiths mark, border engraved lock, plain tang (possibly replacement) with swelling walnut butt (again a working life replacement in my opinion) with silver grotesque ask and escutcheon. A nice early pistol.
