Original flint lock marked with the {British Crown} / GR under the pan along with expected Board of Ordnance {Crown-Broad Arrow} acceptance mark. Tail of lock marked "TOWER" in a vertical arc. Lock with rounded, fenced and bridled pan and flat reinforced cock. Barrel with weak Board of Ordnance military proof marks, upper right wrist with clear 1806 dated storekeeper's mark. Standard brass furniture includes lobed butt cap, flat S-shaped side plate, triggerguard, and Pratt pattern ramrod pipe. No ramrod present. Stock with usual raised carved apron around breech plug tang. A somewhat salty but authentic example of a Napoleonic Wars dated British dragoon pistol. Condition: Good to very good.
