Typical of early English Flintlock trade pistols, manufactured for the American market, this gun is in original flint with an 8 inch barrel and an overall length of 13 1/2 inches.  It is in about .52 caliber and is solid and sound.  It does not appear to have been cleaned or molested in any way.  The mainspring is weak but still bears tension on the hammer.  The top of the barrel is marked London and bears English view and proof marks.  The lock is marked JN JONES & Co.  The wood is sound, bearing most of its original finish with no repairs.  Judging from the lack of an arm on the pan and the gooseneck styling of the hammer, it was probably made no later than 1820 and could be considerably earlier.   A nice,  early flint in about attic condition.  SOLD!!
