Pair of Flintlock Pistols ca. 1750-70 Alexander Campbell Scottish The Highland warriors of Scotland carried distinctive arms. Their pistols, unlike those made elsewhere in Great Britain, were constructed entirely from metal, usually steel, and were engraved and often silver-inlaid with geometric and foliate ornament of Celtic inspiration. This pair, signed by the renowned gunmaker Campbell of Doune, Perthshire, is a classic example of the type. Among the defining features are the scrolled "ram's-horn" butts, button-shaped triggers (without trigger guards), decorative pierced rosettes behind the head of the cock, and belt hooks mounted on the side opposite the locks. These pistols are also noteworthy for their American association. The grips bear silver plaques inscribed Abr M. Embury/New York 1830, identifying them as having belonged to a member of a distinguished New York family. The pistols' unusually crisp condition testifies to their preservation as treasured heirlooms for almost The Cannon Fredelant’.This is the oldest known cannon inscribed with a Dutch text, which translates as: Fredelant is my name’. On the barrel are the arms of the married couple Hendrik van Isendoorn à Blois and Sophia van Stommel. Hendrik owned Cannenburch Castle in Vaassen, where this little cannon stood until 1881. The decoration is in the style of the period (transition from Gothic to Renaissance), when the candlestick motifs would then have been considered very modern-looking.Model adze ca. 1981-1802 B.C.

The Running, caliber 14.8 mm, are bound together in a bundle of six outside walking around a middle run by means of brass tires and with bolts on the back on a shock plate. A target bracket is mounted in the middle of the shot. The flint lock, signed Haslett, is applied to the left and is fired with a tractor rope. The spark enters the first run through the pan and is passed on to the others in a central distribution plate via connection channels in a central distribution plate. It also works according to the principle of the Roman candle: seven following loads have been applied in each course, the bullets of which are pierced to pass on the spark to the back. For example, 49 bullets are fired in a salvo, where the bullets of each run are fired in succession through the tiBass viol case, anonymous, c. 1700 Chest horend with seventy-string bass gamba (BK-Kog-1347-B-1).

Smith and Wesson presented one to President Ulysses S. Grant (1822-1885) in 1870 (now in the Autry Museum of the American West, Los Angeles, CA, acc. no. 2012.2.31) and it is likely that The Met's revolver, decorated in a nearly identical fashion by the same engraver one year earlier, inspired its design.The decoration was executed by the German-American engraver Gustave Young (1827-1895), who emigrated to the United States in 1853 and engraved for Colt from 1853-1858 before his long association with Smith and Wesson.
