The frizzen is an "L" shaped piece of steel hinged at the rear used in flintlock firearms. It is positioned over the flash pan so to enclose a small priming charge of black powder next to the flash hole that is drilled through the barrel into where the main charge is loaded.

What are rifle flints?
Rifle flints are just knapped pieces of flint that are sized to fit in the cock (hammer) of a flint lock rifle. They are sharp on the end that protrudes from the jaws of the cock. This is the piece that actually contacts the frizzen to scrape tiny curls of metal from the frizzen (causing sparks) to light the primer powder in the pan.
What were rifles from the 1730's?
Rifles from the 1730s were muzzleloading flintlocks- you poured gunpowder down the barrel, and used a ramrod to push a lead ball down the barrel. When you fired it a piece of flint rock scraped sparks from the frizzen, and the sparks ignited the gunpowder.

How does a flint lock pistol work?
When the trigger is pulled, the trigger causes the sear to release the hammer, or "cock". This piece, holding a bit of flint rock, is pushed forward by a spring, causing the flint to scrape down a curved steel plate, known as the frizzen. This "shaves" sparks off the frizzen and into the priming pan. The pan holds a small amount of gunpowder. This is ignited- and part of the "flash" travels through a small hole (flash hole) and ignites the main powder charge inside the barrel. The rapidly burning gunpowder produces rapidly expanding gasses, which drive the bullet out of the barrel.
