Black Sails is a 2014 semi historical Pirate TV show surrounding the adventures of Robert Louis Stevenson's Captain Flint and company twenty years prior to the setting of the book Treasure Island.
The following weapons were used in the series Black Sails:
Flintlock Pistol
Captain Flint uses a Doune lock Scottish Flintlock throughout the first season. This style of pistol is correct for the era, as they were manufactured by various sources from 1678 until around the 1790's. Although these were most popular during the Jacobite Rebellions and the American war of independence, it is entirely feasible that such a weapon could have been in Nassau in 1715. The earlier pistols, however, are known primarily for their intricate and ornate engravings.
In the opening scene of the first episode Captain Parrish wields what appears to be an anachronistic french cavalry pistol with a belt hook.
