Dave Brooks single shot pistol

[Ken B]

Have a Dave Brooks single shot pistol built in1984 #7, if im reading the numbers right. Trying to find out whats it worth. A older feller gave it to me to sell for him. I know it was built in NH , has false muzzle, a key type cooking system, curly maple stock and target sights. Any help would be helpful...Ken B

it looks like a great piece. The wood is awesome, metalwork, fitting and trigger are unbelievable.

The info from Mr. Price ( an amazing builder, www.davidpriceflintlocks.com )


Dave Brooks originally lived in Mass. where he worked for Sylvania.* From what I understand, he was the one that invented the flash cube for Sylvania.* Some of you young folks won't know what that was.* It was basically a four sided flash bulb for taking pictures in low light.* He* was a bit of a genious and a wonderful macheniest* After he retired he moved to N.H. and built many guns including an* exact copy of a gatlin gun which I had the opportunity to fire at Fort Ticonderoga in the mid 60s.* He built many* side hammer rifles and pistols and his work was second to none.* A* friend of mine just picked up a 32 cal. rifle that he built which still shoots great.

He was a very nice person that everyone liked.
