Three barrel pistol by J. BORTON

Hello

At most you can fire the two barrels simultaneously, with the selector (tap) open in the first position then, to fire the third barrel you must move the selector again, If you want to shoot one at the same time, you must have the selector closed, then move it to first position and shoot, and then move the selector back to its last position and shoot. riding the hammer and the frizzen every time

I'm trying guys.

I found this description:
"This c. 1780 flintlock pistol has three barrels numbered 1-3 that can be fired individually by rotating the pan using the switch on the left. A sliding safety arrests the cock and frizzen."

Okay, so the button and ring piece is turned to expose the priming pan for each barrel?

Were these pistols prone to malfunction and fire all the barrels at once?

I promise you a diagram of the function, but you have to be patient ...

Perhaps I can help with some fotos. N°1 shows the tap in position for firing the left barrel, foto 2 shows the position for the right barrel. The third foto shows the firing position for barrel n°3. As far as I know firing more than one barrel at once is not possible.

Hello

The good photos of Corrado remind me of my engagement. I differ with Conrrado; Photograph Number 2, with the selector (tap) open in the first position, shows both ears, therefore if the bread is barley, the shot will be produced in the barrels on the right and on the left. As for Rick's question, if the selector setting is correct, the fire should not be the other pan.

Affectionately
