Tinder pistol
Pistol strike-a-light
Similar in appearance to a flint-lock pistol, the handle or butt, trigger and pan is identical in every way. The pan holds the tinder, which becomes ignited when the hammer strikes and forces open the steel lid of the pan.
(J. Seymour Lindasy, Iron & Brass Implements of the Ebglish House)
Tinder pistols were expensive and were owned only by a small and wealthy minority of households. They were often converted by a gunsmith from ordinary pistols.
