General Washington's Pistol, 1228, Non-functional replica

Reproduction of a flintlock pistol, made of metal and wood, with a simulated loading and firing mechanism.

This artistically carved wooden flintlock pistol was manufactured in England by express order of George Washington (1732-1799), Commander in Chief of the Continental Army of the revolutionary forces in the American War of Independence (1775-1783) and first President of the United States of America (1789-1797).

The American War of Independence was a long conflict, which pitted the original Thirteen British Colonies in North America against the Kingdom of Great Britain for eight and a half years, ending with the British defeat at the Battle of Yorktown and the signing of the Treaty of Paris. Given this situation, the Americans were absolutely right in choosing their commander-in-chief, George Washington, since due to his temperament and ability, he was the ideal man for this type of campaign.
