I was hard pressed to decide whether to stick this in the BP section, but it's much more of a C&R than a functional flintlock.
Made in the 16th century by the Cloeter family of gunsmiths, when I saw the picture of this sleek pistol I had to post it up. Not likely to end up in my collection, these things run 10-15K a pop.
I'm including a link to an auction site for the background info.
