This print showcases a remarkable piece of history - the Flintlock Magazine Pistol (Lorenzoni System) from Germany, dating back to around 1690. Crafted with precision and artistry, this 17th-century firearm is an exquisite example of applied arts in Europe. The pistol's design is a testament to German engineering ingenuity, featuring a flint lock mechanism that revolutionized warfare during its time. Its steel alloy barrel and brass accents add both strength and elegance to the weapon. The walnut wood handle provides a comfortable grip for the user, while also adding a touch of natural beauty.
