Hector Barbossa's pirate pistol

Captain Hector Barbossa owned two pistols during his career as a pirate and a privateer. One of them was a single-barreled flintlock pistol when he was captain of the Black Pearl.

Pirate's weapon
Originally this elegantly engraved weapon belonged to a Spanish pirate who challenged Barbossa to a duel. Barbossa defeated the Spaniard, killed him and took the pistol.

The pistol is engraved with silver ornaments including a miniature skull. It is a good weapon, with which Barbossa can kill his enemies in the way of a gentleman. On Isla de Muerta he shot Pintel, one of Barbossa's crew, to find out whether the curse is lifted. During the Battle of Calypso's maelstrom, Barbossa killed at least one East India Trading Company soldier with this pistol.

He was seen carrying this pistol around the time he stole the Black Pearl from Jack Sparrow a second time.

Privateer's weapon
When Barbossa began his search for the Fountain of Youth, he became a privateer in King George's court. It is unknown what he did with the pistol he used as a pirate, but he was seen holding a different pistol in the voyage.
