This pistol is interesting in that it was originally made as a flintlock based on the British New Land Pattern cavalry pistol of 1808.
Like the New Land Pat, it has a swivel rammer but the swivel and rammer button are made of brass. Also, this pistol has a brass entry pipe that over comes the New Land Pat’s design fault.
The .69 caliber, smoothbore, round barrel measures 9 inches with the whole pistol measuring just under 14 inches. The conversion date of 1846 is stamped on the barrel just forward of the percussion nipple housing. The bore is in good condition.
The flat lock has a rounded tail and is marked ‘FABB R IN TORINO’. The main spring action is strong but does not release from full cock.
All the brass furniture is in a good condition with inspection marks of ‘FF” appearing on the rammer entry pipe and side plate.
The walnut, full-length stock is in a good used condition with what appears to be a period repair. The pistol also has a belt hook and the stock is numbered 876.
An interesting pistol that collectors of 19th century British military arms will be familiar with.
Sold as a collector item only.
Price includes postage in Australia, layby available.
