A period conversion of a genuine Napoleonic war horse. The British pattern, 1794 light cavalry, flintlock pistol.
The .65 calibre, round, unsighted, smoothbore barrel measures the standard 9 inches with the whole pistol measuring 15 inches. The bore is in a good but dusty condition.
The partially border engraved, flat lock is also clearly engraved with ‘TOWER’ and the Crowned ‘GR’. The lock is in excellent working order but the nipple is dry fire damaged and the leading lock screw protrudes from the lock plate.
The regulation brass furniture is in very good condition.
While the walnut stock is in a good used condition any ordnance markings are no longer clearly visible. The brass tipped rammer appears original to the pistol but is now missing the last 2 inches.
Sold as a collector item only.
Price includes postage in Australia, layby available.
