Ed, are you sure hers was a TC Patriot?... I don't believe TC ever made a Patriot in flint. My Blue Book of BP Values states that the Patriot was made in .36 and .45 percussion and discontinued in 1987. No mention of ever being made in flintlock. Maybe it was a custom build?

Traditions builds a flintlock pistol that looks very similar to a Patriot.
