English Officer's Flintlock Pistol Designation: Officer's flintlock pistol Type: Flintlock handgun, flared barrel Origin: England (Great Britain) Period: Late 18th century – early 19th century (c. 1780-1820) Description This officer's flintlock pistol is a close-defense weapon characterized by its wide, flared, funnel-shaped barrel. It features a flintlock mechanism and is notable for its bronze (or highly alloyed brass) barrel and lock furniture, a material valued for its corrosion resistance in marine environments. The stock is made of polished hardwood and adopts the classic "crow's beak" grip shape, typical of late 18th-century British pistols. A metal ramrod is housed under the barrel. The wide flare of the muzzle allowed for firing a load of shot or buckshot, providing significant dispersion at close range. Historical Context: Blunderbuss pistols were widely used by officers, sailors, ship captains, guards, and some travelers between the second half of the 18th century and the beginning of the 19th century. Their effectiveness at very short range made them a particularly suitable weapon for defending ship decks, stagecoaches, and isolated outposts. British models with bronze barrels were common in naval circles, where resistance to salt air was a major advantage. Estimated Characteristics • Mechanism: Flintlock • Barrel: Blunderbuss, bronze/brass, flared muzzle • Caliber: .60 • Estimated overall length: 35 cm • Stock: Hardwood • Origin: Great Britain • Use: Personal and maritime defense Condition of Preservation The weapon appears to be in good overall condition. The wood retains its original shape and the metal parts have a uniform patina consistent with the age of the object. The mechanism is complete. Category: HISTORICAL WEAPON.

Percussion cavalry pistol (originally flintlock, later modified) • Solid walnut stock, strongly curved with metal butt cap • Short, large-caliber barrel with metal ramrod • Locking mechanism typical of French military weapons • Presence of a percussion system (hammer striking a nipple) French cavalry pistol, model 1816/1822, converted to percussion (known as a “T”). This type of weapon is common in the evolution of French regulations: • initially manufactured with flintlock in the early 19th century • then converted to percussion around 1835–1855. Period • Original manufacture: early 19th century (c. 1810–1825) • Conversion to percussion: mid-19th century (c. 1840) This perfectly reflects the technological transition from flintlock to percussion, a key stage in the history of firearms. Technical description • Type: Military handgun (cavalry) • System: Percussion (later modification) • Loading: Muzzle-loading • Estimated caliber: 18 mm (French military standard) • Materials: • Walnut stock • Steel furniture • Smoothbore barrel • Accessories: Metal cleaning rod (present) The configuration and proportions correspond to the standard French pistols used in the Napoleonic campaigns and later under the July Monarchy and the Second Empire. Historical context: French cavalry pistols: • dominated individual military weaponry between the 18th and mid-19th centuries • were carried in pairs in saddlebags • were progressively modernized with the advent of percussion, a more reliable system than flintlock. The modified Model 1822 is emblematic of this technological transition. Condition • Good overall condition • Consistent patina • Markings present (proof mark visible on barrel) • Homogeneous pieces (no major anomalies visible) Strengths: • Representative of French military weaponry • Concrete evidence of the technical transition from flintlock to percussion caps • Ideal educational tool (evolution of firing mechanisms) • Similar weapons are present in national collections (Type Mle 1822) Relevance to collection: • Completes a Napoleon/19th century section • Good value for money for an institutional acquisition • Robust, visually evocative object Conclusion – Acquisition Rationale This pistol is a typical and relevant piece of French military heritage. Its conversion to percussion makes it an excellent example of the army's adaptation to 19th-century technological innovation. Cavalry pistols were historically carried in pairs in saddle holsters. • A preserved pair indicates: • greater historical integrity • less dispersal over time • Collectors and institutions strongly seek complete sets https://www.expoantique.net/en/product-page/authentique-paire-de-pistolets-de-la-cavalerie-française-19e-siècle

Queen Anne type flintlock pocket pistol Type: Single-shot personal defense weapon Origin: Great Britain Period: Late 18th century – early 19th century (circa 1770-1820) Materials: Brass, steel, and precious wood inlaid with wire Caliber: Undetermined Ignition system: Flintlock This flintlock pocket pistol belongs to the family of personal defense weapons known as the "Queen Anne." Its flared brass barrel, compact mechanism, and rounded butt grip were designed for discreet carry in a pocket or travel bag. The weapon features Georgian-style engraved decoration, including a radiating rosette on the top of the frame and finely chased ornamental panels. The checkered wooden grip is enhanced with an oval metal inlay, indicating careful craftsmanship intended for a wealthy clientele. Historical Context In the 18th century, travelers, merchants, and officers frequently carried small pocket pistols for personal protection. Lighter and more discreet than military pistols, these models were particularly popular in towns and on trade routes. The invention of percussion ignition in the early 19th century gradually led to the abandonment of flintlock weapons, making this example a testament to the last generation of handguns before the major industrial innovations of the Victorian era. Condition The weapon retains much of its original finish. The brass barrel remains well preserved, and the decorative elements are still clearly visible. The stock shows little alteration and retains its metal inlay. Collector's interest: This piece illustrates the evolution of civilian defense weapons at the end of the Georgian period and is an excellent example of the craftsmanship of gunsmiths specializing in luxury pocket weapons intended for the bourgeoisie and travelers of the 18th and 19th centuries. https://www.expoantique.net/en/product-page/paire-de-pistolets-d-officier-de-la-marine-française-18e-siècle
