BidProwl Summary
Pair of 18th-century Dutch .68 caliber flintlock holster pistols by Krans of Maastricht, each with 14-inch barrels, hardwood stocks with brass furniture, and engraved lock plates and shields; condition shows mottled patina and light bore oxidation with significant stock damage including 3-inch and 2-inch repaired sections on one pistol and missing barrel pin on the other. Collectors of historical firearms and living history reenactors buy these for display and period use, though parts dealers may cherry-pick components. Before bidding, test both lock mechanisms in person, verify the hammer issue on the mechanically fair specimen, assess stock repair quality and whether cracks are stable, and confirm bore corrosion won't affect display value.
