If you're interested an owning one, I can link you to some places that may have them or can direct you.
I use the "term" "Highland Scots Pistol" because the ones in ths genre are unique. Remember, the "highlanders" were distnct from the majority of Scots ( "lowlanders") as were their pstols. The "lowland Scots also made & carried pistols, but they were mostly "English" in design ( + they also carried a few French)
