C1820 Liege Belgium Turkish Contract .700 Calibre British Naval Pattern Flintlock Sea Service Pistol With Brass Fittings. Sn 18440 - 18440
During the 18th Century the British Royal Navy began standardising their Naval small arms. One such weapon was the Sea Service flintlock pistol. These weapons were used by the British Royal Navy throughout the Wars with neighbouring France 1750- 1815. Due to heavy production demands for Sea service pistols during the Napoleonic Wars the British Admiralty turned to their Belgian allies to produce Sea Service pattern pistols to supplement dwindling British made supplies. Liege pistols, although not the fine quality of the British version, were robust, heavy and well made resulting in other nations Governments also contracting Liege pistols for their armed forces. This Liege made Sea service pistol was made for the Turkish Government. It is is in very good as found, un-messed with condition. It measures 15 ½” overall with a 9” steel barrel. The metal work ‘in the white’ has even patina. The smooth bore has staining & residue consistent with age & use. The barrel has what looks like a small Liege inspection mark (illustrated). The walnut full stock has regulation brass furniture and fixed steel lanyard ring. The wood has just bumps and bruises to be expected. The lock plate is plain steel ‘in the white’ and has Turkish inspection marks (illustrated). The heavy military hammer is fitted with flint. The cocking and firing actions work crisply and create a good spark. The price includes UK delivery.
