EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Flintlock. 579 inch pistol owned by Colonel Charles Churchill, a prominent figure in the 10th Regiment of Dragoons during the year 1742. The Italian School's exquisite craftsmanship is evident through this remarkable piece, which is now housed at the National Army Museum in London. The Flintlock pistol was an essential weapon for dragoons like Colonel Churchill, although it had its limitations on the battlefield due to its short range.
