This pistol, a later and larger "commercial" version of the type carried at Waterloo by the Scots Grays. It is in exceptional condition. Actually, dating around 1813 to 1830 it was destined for use by mounted dragoons, and this type being strictly military, was exported worldwide even to the United States. It has a caliber of .80!  The browned barrel with Birmingham proofs is 12 inches long. The original flint and steel lock plate is stamped with a Georgian crown ahead of the cock and "TOWER" on its tail. The walnut stock shows minor use mostly from storage. Typical of the 1796 types there never was a butt plate. There are 2 brass ramrod thimbles. The original iron ramrod is in place. The 1796 brass side plate is also in place. There are assorted British inspectors' marks on the stock and barrel. The overall length of this monster of a pistol is 18 1/2 inches. [pe] [ph:L]
