Original British Napoleonic Tower-Marked New Land Pattern Flintlock Dragoon Pistol – Circa 1810 Original Items

Original Item: Only One Available. This Lovely flintlock Pistol dates to prior the Battle of Waterloo, and is a standard full stocked flintlock pistol fitted with the NEW LAND PATTERN Swivel all steel “captured” ramrod. This allowed a Cavalryman to easily reload the pistol while on horseback without fear of dropping his ramrod.

The lock is marked with Crown over G.R. and TOWER on the lock plate tail, with the “Lock Viewer’s” mark under the pan. In fine tight and all original condition showing British Proof marks. It is fitted with the standard 9″ .67″ smooth bore barrel, which still shows visible proofs on the breech end, a rare thing to see. From what we can see, they are the CROWN / GR royal proof and the CROWN / CROSSED SCEPTERS Birmingham Proof. The stock has a standard brass nose cap and all brass fittings.

There are various proofs and markings stamped into the wood, such as CROWN / 9, as well as CROWN / 180, which looks to be a partial date. There is also T / 12 on the left side of the stock.

The lock functions well, holding at half cock and firing at full, though it at one time also had a half cock safety, which unfortunately is now broken off. The captured ramrod works as well. Overall condition is very nice, with the expected wear from age and use.

A highly desirable Flintlock pistol from the Napoleonic Wars. Ready to display!
