Fine Napoleonic Wars Era British Flintlock Long Sea Service Pistol

The basic Sea Service pattern pistols were used from the mid-18th century into the early 19th century by the Royal Navy around the globe including during the French & Indian War, American Revolution, War of 1812, and Napoleonic Wars. This example dates from around the time of the latter two conflicts and has the reinforced neck on the cock. The lock is marked with "TOWER" at the tail, St. Edward's crown above "GR" and "crown/broad arrow" at the center, and has double line borders. The left rear of the barrel is marked with Ordnance proof marks. The walnut stock is mounted with brass furniture and an iron belt hook measuring 9 1/8 inches in overall length is fitted on the right side. The stock has Ordnance markings, including a store keeper's stamp near the tail of the lock dated "1805". Modern replacement ramrod. Provenance: Property of a Distinguished Southern Clergyman

ConditionFine with gray and brown patina on the lock, barrel, and hook along with some light oxidation, attractive aged patina on the brass furniture, and generally fairly minor overall wear. The re-oiled stock is also fine and has small filled hole on the top of the wrist, and mild wear, including some scratches and dings. Mechanically fine.
