(acc. no. 49)

This flintlock pistol was found on Culloden battlefield, dropped by a Jacobite solider during their infamous last stand in 1746. It is not unusual to find pistols on battlefields; they took so long to reload in the heat of battle that after firing a single shot they were often discarded.
