Description:
Antique BRITISH Model 1842 CAVALRY Service Pistol
Used by the British Cavalry During the Crimean War
Here we present an antique Tower marked British Model 1842 Cavalry percussion Service pistol, made circa 1845. It is stamped with British proof marks. The gun is a .60 caliber, single shot percussion pistol with brass furniture with steel barrel, lock, and lanyard ring. The stock is in a nice reddish walnut wood. This model saw service during the Crimean War (1853-1856). The rise of the revolver made pistols such as this somewhat outdated, and by the late 1850s, it started to fall out of favor due to the increasing popularity of percussion revolvers, although examples continued to be produced into the early 1870s and were used side by side.
The overall condition is good. The metal surfaces have a dark patina. The markings are clear. The stock is smooth and solid. The bore is smooth and dark with some roughness. The action is excellent, strong and crisp.
