How much were flintlock pistols?

Sorry- simply not possible to answer a question that broad. They were made over many years, in different countries, by different makers and to different levels of quality. However, they were expensive enough that the average man did not own a pistol. While he might own a rifle or shotgun, pistols were a "gentleman's" weapon, and a wealthy merchant or landowner might have a set custom made for them. The average soldier did not have a pistol- they would usually be carried by an officer.
