German Mfg Hy Hunter Repro Flintlock Buccaneer Pistol
The pistol was imported in the 1960's from Germany by Hy Hunter of Hollywood California and is marked Buccaneer Model. It is very clean overall with light staining on the barrel. The wood finish has some light storage marks. The lock is working. The pistol is about 17" overall and weighs a hefty 4 lbs 6 oz. The caliber is roughly .75. It doesn't appear to have been fired, and we don't know if it is safe to do so.

Sold as a collectors item only with no representations as to its safety to shoot or use.

zimmerstutzen, if you don't see proof marks, don't tempt fate.

Life is short enough.

After rehardening the frizzen, I've fired mine with blank loads, but I'm not sure I'd trust it with a ball. The spring seems a little weak in mine as well. It's mostly a prop for doing pirate reenactment.

Pull the barrel, look for proof marks. If it's not proofed I wouldn't trust it to stay together. I would love to see one in action though.
