British H. Nock Ordnance Proofed Heavy Dragoon Style Flintlock Pistol

This pistol appears very similar to the 1796 pattern heavy dragoon type pistols. The barrel is marked "LONDON" in what appears to be individually stamped letters and "HN" along with two proofs on top. The lock is lightly border engraved and marked "H..NOCK" in front of the cock and "11" on the inside. There is a "broad arrow/B" stamp on the stock flat.

ConditionVery good, showing mostly a grey patina speckled with some mild pitting and an attractive aged patina on the brass with some very light verdigris. The refurbished wood is good with minor dings throughout (more concentrated on the butt), a couple cracks, two repairs (one near the lock and one near the barrel tang), slivers absent near the barrel and ramrod channels. and a clear cartouche. Mechanically excellent.
