A BRIEF Intro to the " All Steel Highland Scots Pistol"

[Woot22]

Outstanding, very interesting thread you all have going here. After seeing these images I want one or three. Afraid I do not have the cash to be finding another interest though. If anyone is interested in some antique Scottish weapons I found a link awhile back that had some cool but very very expensive items for sale.

Any insight as to when and why such artistic touches fell out of "fashion" for weapons?
