Description:
“1762” Dated “FARMER” BRIT Light Dragoon FLINTLOCK
Pre-Revolutionary War British Flint Pistol
Here we present an antique British Light Dragoon Flintlock Pistol, made by James Farmer in 1762. James Farmer was a well-known maker operating in London, England during the mid-18th Century. This pistol would have been carried by a member of the British Light Dragoons. These cavalry troops were differentiated from the Heavy Dragoons in that they were more lightly armed and armored, enabling them to move nimbly for scouting, raiding and communications purposes. Light Cavalry in the British Army began to be more highly developed and organized during this very period of the middle 1700s. Two Regiments, the 16th & 17th, participated in the attempt to put down the American Revolution against British rule from 1775-1783.
This pistol is dated “1762” and features a 9-inch barrel and .67 caliber barrel. The tail of the lock is marked with “FARMER/1762” and “CROWN/GR” in the middle, this cipher being the Latin initials of King George III or Georgius Rex. The top of the barrel is marked with “CROWN/R/BROAD ARROW” and “CROWN/CROSSED LANCES”.
The overall condition is very good. The metal surfaces are dark with age. The markings are clear and legible. The bore is smooth and clean. The stock is in good shape with a stable crack just above the brass pommel, not uncommon for these heavy, single-shot horse pistols. The action on this pistol is strong. Here is a fantastic example of a hard to find British Light Dragoon Pistol.
