"Gunslinger" is largely going to be after 1865, after the US Civil War. Revolvers as we know them in the old west only existed after the 1850s. The first revolvers that you would call a revolver would be about 1835. So you don't really have the overlap for French privateer, unless it's a former privateer.

...i think that's why it says elderly french pirate: he was formidable in his youth, but that was four decades ago...
