Product Description
Throughout history, people have loved to shoot people that they didn't like. But then, people have also been fun of stabbing them too. Shoot or stab? What's a warrior to do? Well, fret no more, here's your answer; the 18th Century French Dagger Pistol, when you want the best of both worlds.
This style of weapon was very real and very deadly in history. The premise being that, because a flintlock pistol was very slow to load, a combatant could fire off a round as his or her enemy approached, then still have an effective weapon when the enemy closed. A clumsy sentence, I know, but a very efficient weapon.
Dagger-Pistol Replica. 18th Century French Dagger-Pistol Replica. 14 7/8" overall. 9 7/8" antique finish cast metal blade. Wooden handle with simulated brass shell guard and pommel. Pistol is mounted to side of blade. The locks and trigger are fully functional (that is, you can cock it and activate the firing mechanism by squeezing the trigger), although the gun cannot actually be fired.
Truly a perfect weapon for pirate or highwayman alike. Equally great as a display piece in any room.
