Scarce REGIMENT MARKED Antique PRUSSIAN Model 1850 Percussion Pistol Germanic CAVALRY/Horse Pistol Dated 1851
Description: Scarce REGIMENT MARKED Antique PRUSSIAN Model 1850 Percussion Pistol Germanic CAVALRY/Horse Pistol Dated 1851 Here we present an antique Pair of Prussian Cavalry Model 1850 Percussion Pistols, made in 1851 in Suhl and Potsdam. The Model 1850 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. Gray patina. Clear markings. The action has good spring tension but the sear is a bit chipped and so it does not reliably hold half- or full-cock. The bore is smooth and patinated. The stock is solid, showing use and inspection markings. Clear unit markings on the trigger guard. Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel length is 7-3/4 inches. Caliber is .58 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 $1300 #244597 SOLD Antique: Yes |
