I posted a month back about how I wanted to get my hands on a flintlock pistol.

I decided I would like the same make/model that was used by the character Ctp. Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean: Legend of the Black Pearl, but I can't find what the make/model is. Hell, I don't know if it was a mock up of a real pistol. Here are a few pictures I found on the net. I hope someone recognizes it.

Identify Flintlock

The one in the frame looks as though it has been built around a musket/rifle lock. I would do the same, build your own, then you know what you have and if you did a gooj will have bragging rights.

I would hesitate to buy one made in India, many or most of which come with no touch hole. I did some work on an Indian gun recently; the breach plug ended about 2 or 3 threads short of the internal threads and the trigger assembly had some problems with the inletting in that area.
I am not saying that these guns cannot be overhauled and modified to make good functional guns, but I do suspect that most people who buy them do not have the ability to do so or to recognize what the problems are.
In the case of the gun that I worked on, I made a new threaded portion of the breach plug and silver soldered it to the original tang and endcap. Obviously I sawed the old threads off.
I feel that leaving the plug the way it was installed, would have left and area that was asking for corrosion and eventually for failure.
