SPANISH MODEL 1815 CAVALRY FLINTLOCK PISTOL
Spanish Model 1815 Cavalry Flintlock pistol (a copy of the French An13). Dated 1831. Barrel: 9.1” long. Caliber: 18.5mm, Top stamped 1831 EIBAR left side marked M.Y. Top marked 1831 EIBAR Bottom Marked UNZU.. Stock stamped IY behind the side plate. Slight crack in buttstock
Horse pistols' were large caliber smoothbores of the 'New Land Pattern' sort.
Riders would carry a brace of these, possibly as many as three on each side of the saddle arranged in thimbles. One side would be loaded with ball and the other with buckshot and ball. The former was for use on the enemy’s horse. The rider being thus dismounted, most likely injured and at great disadvantage was then run over with a sabre or if the blade wasn't available the heavy brass covered end of the grip makes for a skull crushing club. The latter was for use on the enemy themselves in close combat. The results are similar to a sawed off shotgun.
