Description

This robust flintlock pistol is all original and a veteran of the Revolutionary War. The 1756/1777 Sea Service pistol was adopted by the Royal Navy in 1756. The pattern remained unchanged for more than twenty years until the lock was modified slightly (the length of the sear spring was shortened) in 1777. These guns are characterized by their long 12" barrels and .56 caliber bores. The pattern would be updated again almost immediately after the Revolution to include and shorter barrel and different side plate; making these pistols iconic players in the War for Independence. Author George C. Neumann listed the 1756/1777 Sea Service pistol in his outstanding book Battle Weapons of the American Revolution.

This particular pistol is in very good shape. The lock is in its original flintlock configuration (it is NOT a reconversion like most 18th Century flint pistols), however the pan of the lock appears to have snapped off at some point, and a replacement pan was installed and aged to match the rest of the lock. The cock holds solid on both full and half cock, and the frizzen spring is crisp.

The stock is also very good with no cracks or splits and only one minor repaired crack near the front of the lock plate (see pictures).

The barrel is full length and the bore is dark and uncleaned.

The furniture is all original, but the belt hook is missing.
