This print showcases a remarkable piece of Scottish history - the Flintlock Belt Pistol, created by the skilled hands of Thomas Caddell in 1735. Crafted with precision and artistry, this 18th-century firearm is an exquisite example of applied arts in Europe. The pistol's elegant design seamlessly blends steel alloy, silver, leather, and wood to create a visually striking masterpiece. Its intricate mechanism reflects the ingenuity of its creator, while the flintlock technology demonstrates the advancements made during that era.
