Item Details
Description
ENGLISH HEAVY DRAGOON PISTOL
English heavy dragoon pistol, ca. 1740-60, 12" barrel, 19 1/4" long overall. Widely used in the American Revolution, this large yet graceful pistol was originally commissioned for military use by mounted cavalry, fitted close at hand in a saddle mounted holster, ahead of the rider across the pommel for fast access. Since it was originally military issue, it was not fitted with any mounted or fixed sights. Tapered barrel fitted to a oak stock which bears a few nail holes, but is otherwise very good, with brass in excellent condition. Lock plate, possibly a replacement, bears the "Tower" and Crown "GR" marks and is dated "1739". Mechanism crisp and fully operational. A good affordable example.
