I have a question for all of you gun nuts. I have an old flintlock pistol that was alleged to have come from Kieser, Wilhelm's gun collection. I even have a photo of the pistol being brandished by two members of the 94th Aero Squadron (fooling around, dressed as Huns) in front of a Spad in about 1918. I would love to track down the history of this pistol. Any ideas?

...I know the Kaiser chased my great-great-great...grandfather out of the beer-wagon with one, if that helps.

He was only looking! There could have been a thief...or something. Trust me.

If it belonged to the kaiser you should have a crown marking followed by a W. If there is a number following the W, then that is the year it was made.

Try writing these guys. Post a pic too. My curiosity is WAY UP!
