Here Ancestry Guns presents an antique Arabic Marked East India Company New Land Pattern Flintlock Pistol, made circa the early 1800s. The East India Company Land Pattern pistol was introduced in 1796 and in widespread production by 1802, the New Land Cavalry Pistol provided one model of pistol for all of Britain's cavalry units such as the Royal Horse Artillery. Initially it started out with a rounded brass butt, as is the example, but this soon gave way to a flat butt with a lanyard ring. The ring on the later pistols allowed the pistol to be attached to the cavalryman's equipment and not be lost in the heat of battle. The famous East India Company made many of these for British Cavalry serving in India, who in turn brought them into service elsewhere in the world.

Overall condition is good. The finish is a mostly grey patina, with some light pitting and vise marks on the sides of the barrel. Strong action. Good bore for its age, darkened. The muzzle has been reshaped slightly into an oval shape. One screw is missing from the forend cap. The wood shows a minor crack, along with light chips and dings.
