looking for flintlock pistol

[Fujimo]

Hi all,
i have had a long history with shooting percussion muzzle loaders, and i hunted with them exclusively when i was growing up in south africa.
Fast forward to today, we now live in Canada, and my 12 year old son is an absolute history nut!
whether it be knowledge of ancient Mesopotamia or the Angolan Bush War, he regularly schools us on history!
he is really into the Prussian and Napoleonic war period.
he has a few of his own firearms already, but we are trying to find him, either in kit form or in completed form, any kind of flintlock pistol.
we are on a bit of a budget, but not that cheap that we wont pay for something decent.
we are possibly not looking at some original collectors piece, as i just dont think we could afford that!

any leads or input is greatly accepted.
cheers
wayne

Try Loyalist arms. Not sure what you’re budget is but they are responsible priced for what you get.

I know things military does the asian/india imports. Are the loyalist pieces of the same ilk?
are they good shooters?
are bullet moulds an issue
many thanks

Loyalist Arms sells reproductions from many different manufacturers from different countries. If you contact them they'll tell you which country of manufacture the pistol you're interested in originates. Been a few years since I've ordered from them though.

Also, I don't know if you are aware of this or not, but in Canada, a fully working (touch hole drilled) modern reproduction of a flintlock pistol is considered a restricted firearm and the appropriate license is required to own and use it. Pre-1897 manufactured flintlock pistols (original period pieces) however, are not considered firearms under the firearms act and no license is required to own.

Modern, working reproduction flintlock rifles, on the other hand, are not considered firearms under the firearms act and no license is required to own.

Stupid I know, but that's the law.

If you rush out to buy a pre-1897 flintlock, y'all may understand where they're comin' from.
