Pair of pyrotechnic flintlock pistols
Firework technology was also applied in pistols, allowing them to fire signals, or shoot burning projectiles into encampments of enemy tents or ships’ sails. The inscription on the barrels freely translates as: ‘Jacob Lommers, soldier of Jülich, mathematician, engineer and pyrotechnician, conceived and made me in my entirety in the year 1744.’
