A rare Napoleonic era British Military long Sea Service Tower Flintlock Pistol. Circa 1800. The lock marked TOWER and crown over GR. The 12 inch barrel stamped on top with two London proof marks. Rounded typical military brass skull-crusher butt-cap, matching brass military style trigger guard and fore end pipe. Complete with its original brass tipped wooden ramrod and spring-steel naval belt hook. A very unusual emblem impressed in the wood to the grip? Calibre is approx .60. The coming of the Wars with France in the 1790s after the French Revolution and the rise of Napoleon Bonaparte forced Britain to arm themselves and this pistol was the type carried by British naval officers. Minor dings and scratches to the stock during it's working life, otherwise in good overall condition and working order. Overall length 19 inches. A good example of a military long sea service flintlock pistol, quite probably carried during the Napoleonic wars. Ref 3770.
