A stupid question about Predator 2

Okay, this is a stupid question about Predator 2. I just saw the ending of it again. Danny Glover gets the antique pistol from one of the Predators, with an Italian name and the date 1715. Are we supposed to recognize that name, or does the date merely let us know that we humans have been hunted for a long time?

Why this has bothered me I don’t know, it wasn’t all that great a movie.

It’s fictional. Non-movie background.

Though I saw it decades ago the original Predator movie was quite good, but I agree Predator 2 was pretty bad. To me the only significants of the flintlock gun is to demonstrate that the predators have been hunting earth a very long time. I never even realized there was a guys name associated with it.

It was so in the next film, a Predator could say: “I’m getting too old for this shit.”

In a world where Alien vs. Predator films exist, Predator 2 is a good movie.
