This print showcases a remarkable pair of Flintlock Pistols, crafted in Germany between 1700 and 1730 by the skilled hands of Johann Jacob Behr. These exquisite firearms epitomize the artistry and craftsmanship prevalent during the 17th and 18th centuries in Europe. The pistols' design is a testament to Behr's ingenuity, with their walnut brass and gold accents exuding elegance and sophistication.
