Cap Gun - Italian Percussion Dueling Flintlock Pistol - Brass

About the Cap Gun - Italian Percussion Dueling Flintlock Pistol - Brass

Part of the Historic Replica Guns catalog, the Cap Gun - Italian Percussion Dueling Flintlock Pistol - Brass is a reproduction built for display, costume and film work rather than for firing. It is cast, fitted and finished by hand, the moving parts operate like the original, and the barrel is solid, so no round can be chambered at any point.

Cap guns sit in a different category to blank guns. They use a paper or plastic ring of impact sensitive caps, held in a die cast frame, and they produce a small bang and a puff of smoke without any powder charge. That makes them the safest option for family events, school demonstrations and living history displays where a louder blank gun would not be appropriate.

Keep it out of direct sun and away from radiators: the Brass finish fades unevenly in sunlight and heat dries the wood. A light coat of oil on a cloth, wiped over the metal twice a year, is enough. Store it in a cabinet or a presentation box rather than a foam case, because foam holds moisture against the metal.
