EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures The General Alexander Hamilton Pair of Flintlock Pistols, crafted between 1798-1804 by the talented Jean-Louis Jalabert. These exquisite pistols showcase a perfect blend of steel and walnut, with intricate engravings and detailing that highlight the craftsmanship of the era.
The lock plates bear the signature engraving of Jalabert and Lamotte from St Etienne, while the trigger guards feature the initials "A.H." for Alexander Hamilton. Each pistol boasts a walnut stock with crisply checkered grips and steel mounts, showcasing elegant design elements such as faceted vase extensions on the trigger guards and flower-shaped pommel buttons with gilt accents.
The two-stage steel barrels are a work of art in themselves, with blued and polished sections adorned with chiseled, engraved, and gold-inlaid motifs of vases overflowing with floral bouquets. The brass muzzle rings add a touch of sophistication to these exceptional firearms.
This pair of flintlock pistols is not just a weapon but also a symbol of luxury and refinement from the 18th century. They represent an era where craftsmanship was highly valued, and every detail was meticulously executed to create objects that were both functional and beautiful.
