a rare scottish heart-butt snaphaunce belt pistol made entirely of steel, dated 1645 with sighted multi-stage barrel formed with four raised mouldings and flared octagonal muzzle, engraved with the date ahead of a slotted ramp at the base of the breech and inset with a small silver rectangle towards the muzzle, bevelled lock with maker's stamp ( rubbed), the pan incorporating a disc fence engraved with an expanded flowerhead and fitted with sliding cover, the cock decorated with a matching flowerhead and the arm of the battery cut with a Celtic serpentine motif ( the sear, tumbler and mainspring all working replacements, presumably early 18th Century), with slender stock cut with simple dentil mouldings along the fore-end, strongly pronounced heart-shaped pommel, slotted small ramrod-pipe, and openwork cubic trigger and pricker en suite with the jaw screw of the cock ( the belt hook, ramrod, one side-nail and the bodkin from the pricker all missing) 40cm., 15.75in The heart-shaped pommel was a regional development of the so-called lemon pommel popularised by Scottish pistol makers within the first quarter of the 17th Century.
