We are a small independent team who live in the beautiful Somerset countryside. We began our passion and collection of antique pistols over 25 years ago. Along with so many others, due to the high price demanded by many dealers, we found that with our budget, our sources and choices, when purchasing were very limited. Hopefully as you browse through our collections you will see that we have tried to improve on that situation. We always try to source our pieces at the lowest possible prices, so that we can then pass these savings on to you. You should be able to find some beautiful individual pieces that have their original bumps and scars, which show they have been through their own battles and have made their mark in history. At Flintlock & Black Powder, our vision is to be a bit different than the normal. We will always try to show each piece in great detail, in description and photos. This means you will be able to see all its defects and charm. Our aim is to cater for collectors who set themselves budgets, someone looking for that different thoughtful gift, or for the restorer who wants to bring it back to its original condition. The bespoke charm of an antique firearm is a way of preserving history and culture. We believe that each piece has a story to tell, and by collecting, caring and selling antique firearms, we are helping to keep these stories alive

I purchased an item from the wide selection offered online on Wednesday and received my order on Saturday. From graciously placing a reservation on a pistol through to delivery, the whole process was straightforward and trouble free. The honest description of the items online is reflected in the fair and competitive pricing. Overall, I absolutely would recommend "Flintlock & Blackpowder" and will hopefully be buying again in the near future.

John couldn’t have been more responsive or helpful - a real pleasure to deal with. I purchased an East India Company percussion pistol and I’m delighted with it: excellent condition and very reasonably priced. The Flintlock and Black Powder website is also excellent: lots of pictures, a video and a detailed description. Altogether, highly recommended.

Just started to collect these types of pistols and the seller couldn’t be more helpful,I had lots of questions they he was incredibly helpful with,I purchased a lovely flintlock pistol and he even gave me a 5% discount and the pistol arrived 48hrs later very well packed to keep it safe.

It seems to me that John and Sarah are prepared to offer quality items at a very fair and affordable price; communication and delivery is spot-on.
If, like me you are looking to invest in an antique firearm, I cannot recommend them highly enough: I am a very satisfied customer.

Regarding this purchase, I cannot think of any way it could have been transacted better. John was very understanding, helpful and understood the importance of not passing on any information. Everything went exactly as I hoped it would.

Fascinating range of pistols on offer. Prices seem reasonable considering the quality of the items. Very fast delivery, and extremely well packaged

Excellent experience as usual I like the fact that you are dealing with a small personally fun business
FL and BP maintain an interesting and varied stock of firearms and, very often, a small range of difficult to find accessories for flintlock and percussion pistols. A full description of an item is always supplied together with photographs and a short video.
Always very helpful when responding to item queries, coupled with free postage and frequent monthly discounts.
With reference to Flintlock and Blackpowder, John not only deals in antique and section 58 firearms, but he is enthusiastic and knowledge in what he is selling. Whether you are new to collecting and just starting out, or had years of experience he is a good contact.

John is extremely knowledgeable about antique guns. He gave expert advise to me when I contacted him regarding a couple of pocket pistols on his website that interested me. I did explain that I was looking to start a small collection and that these might suit. He explained about the workings of the two guns which I found very useful.
