Payment Types Accepted: Credit Card, Certified Check, Money Order Description: DUTCH Antique SEA SERVICE Flintlock Pistol Early 1800s European Martial Pistol Here we present an antique Dutch Sea Service Flintlock Pistol, made circa the early-1800s in Liege. Today we know that Liege is a city in Belgium, perhaps most famous for its centuries of arms manufacture; but at this time, Belgium was not yet independent, and was a parcel of the United Kingdom of the Netherlands until recognized in 1839. This period in history was dominated by Napoleon Bonaparte and his wars of conquest. Interestingly, the Netherlands was a part of the French Empire from 1795 to 1813, and Napoleon renamed it the Batavian Republic, then the Kingdom of Holland, according to his purposes. During this time, the Dutch military fought alongside France against Napoleon’s many enemies. After Napoleon’s defeat in 1813, William I was restored to the head of the government, and in 1815 he declared himself king in the face of Napoleon’s return from Elba. William I’s son, the future King William II fought Napoleon at Waterloo. The overall condition is good. The metal surfaces are bright under a light coat of darkened oil. The only external marking is the “M” on the lock. The stock has been lightly sanded and remains solid, with just a small point of repair above the lock. The bore is smooth and in very good condition.
