Made in West Germany and imported by HY HUNTER HOLLYWOOD CALIFORNIA, this reproduction flintlock pistol is marked on the lockplate with "Made in Germany" alongside the importer stamp. It represents the pre-1968 U.S. import era, offering clear provenance for collectors who value distinct period import and origin markings.
The pistol is built around a round, approximately 10 in steel barrel left in-the-white and configured as a smoothbore in .70 caliber. The action is traditional: a single-shot, muzzleloading flintlock with a ring-neck style cock. Capacity is one round.
Its hardware includes a brass trigger guard, butt cap, sideplate, and a brass barrel band/nose cap. The full-length hardwood stock is varnished, and the fore-end is cut with a ramrod channel holding a wooden rod. There are no front or rear sights.
Details such as the serial number placement on top of the barrel at the breech and the absence of sights stay true to the straightforward build of the Buccaneer Modell. The bright, in-the-white finish and large-bore smoothbore barrel underscore its traditional styling and reproduction intent.
