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. Our Liege made Sea service pistol was most likely one of those made for the British Navy in the Napoleonic war era and is in very good as found, un-messed with condition. It measures 15 ½” overall with a 9” round steel barrel. The smooth bore has staining & residue consistent with age & service use. The barrel has inspection marks (illustrated).
