Hello All,

My first post to this forum but can assure you it won't be my last. I am in receipt of many flintlock, black powder and some other pistols which I know absolutely nothing about. I am however very eager to learn and document the history of each piece and am hopeful that the experts here will oblige by assisting in this endeavor.

My first pistol:

A flintlock
19 1/2" in total length
11 1/2" barrel
possible naval weapon (see photo)
Possible "Pottsdam ????" on side plate
Great condition (in my eyes)

Any assist to properly identify for documentation purposes would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks! Danno
