Description:
BRITISH Antique NEW LAND PATTERN Pistol
Unit Marked 2 Hussars King’s German Legion
Here we present an antique British New Land Pattern Pistol, made circa 1800. This pattern was adopted circa 1796 and used throughout the Napoleonic Wars. This would have been used by British cavalry. It features a .67 caliber bore and a captive ramrod. This one is unit marked for the 2nd Hussars of the King’s German Legion, the only German unit to fight the French all the way through the wars.
This pistol would have originally been made in the flintlock format. After the war, to extend its service life, this pistol received a conversion to percussion. The right side of the frame is marked “TOWER” and “CROWN/GR”, the royal cipher for King George (Latin: Georgius Rex). The left side of the frame is marked “TG/S”. The butt cap is inscribed “2HUSAR KGL/E/57”. Proof marks are present on the left side of the barrel. “JP” is marked in the ramrod channel. There are also a few marks on the top right side of the stock behind the lock, including a small broad arrow.
The overall condition is very good. The metal surfaces have a smooth, gray patina. The markings are clear and legible. The bore is in good shape, smooth and clear. The stock is in good shape, smooth and solid. The action on this pistol is excellent, strong and crisp. Here is a fantastic piece of history for your collection!
