William Antes Pistol by Brad Emig

This pistol is based off of Wm. Antes work and reflects the bold, recognizable decoration that Antes was known for.  The pistol was built from a blank of highly figured Curly Maple and has a custom made barrel and modified Small Siler lock.  All mounts are Hand-Made and the trigger, trigger plate, lock bolts and tank screw are all Hand-Forged.  The carving and engraving was done using all hand tools just the way it was done in the 18th Century.
