(More customer reviews)You'll be surprised to know that this gun looks as good, if not better, in person than it would seem in the photo. It is a long, heavy, solid feeling reproduction that I use for reference when working on illustrations from that time period. Yes it is made of real wood and metal, I took a risk spending the extra few bucks, sight unseen, to get one made from wood instead of plastic and I was really satisfied with the results.
It cocks and fires, the hammer strikes the fizzen and it flips forward in a very realistic manner, of course there is no way to load it with blanks or caps. The ramrod is fused into place and the firing mechanism can't half cock if you're a real stickler for historical accuracy. The half cock would let you load the weapon and stuff it in your belt, a sort of primitive safety.
Thats really the long and the short of it. I don't think any of the replica flintlocks on here have been reviewed yet, but know that they dont look or feel cheap. I think people looking at the two hundred dollar pirate movie prop replicas should consider one of these wood and metal pieces instead. These are very nice quality and cost about a fifth of the price.
