Scarce REGIMENT MARKED Antique PRUSSIAN CAVALRY M1850 Percussion Pistol Fantastic Germanic Horse Pistol DATED 1850
Description: Scarce REGIMENT MARKED Antique PRUSSIAN CAVALRY M1850 Percussion Pistol Fantastic Germanic Horse Pistol DATED 1850 Here we present an antique Prussian Cavalry Model 1850 Percussion Pistol, made circa 1850 in Suhl. This pistol was one of the longest used large, percussion horse pistols in Western Europe in the 19th Century. Several things made this pistol unique from others. The first was the spring-loaded protective cover of the percussion nipple. This acted as a safety as well as helped to retain the percussion cap and keeping away the elements. The second unique feature was the rounded rim at the muzzle, which was aesthetically different, but may have been a design to prevent the deforming of the muzzle should it strike a hard object or be dropped on the battlefield. The sights are further developed with a sturdy pyramid in the front and a raised notch in the back. The pommel is equipped with a lanyard ring for retention. This pistol would have been tethered to the cavalryman and kept in pommel holster on the saddle. It saw action through the Franco-Prussian War in 1870, as well as the Second Schleswig War against the Danes in 1864 and the Austro-Prussian War in 1866. The Prussians were victorious in each conflict. The overall condition is good. The action is excellent. The bore is smooth and patinated. The trigger guard bears the following unit mark “4.U.4.66.”. The stock shows use and there is a small, stable split on the left side above the rear trigger guard bow, a small split at the back of the grip, otherwise solid. Here is a fabulous piece of Prussian history! Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 7-3/4 inches. Caliber: 15mm Percussion Overall condition as seen in photos. Very Fast. Very Safe. FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE. Delivered directly to your door by express mail! Guaranteed AUTHENTIC & Includes CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY. ancestryguns $1500 #240550 SOLD Antique: Yes |
