pistol
Description:
The Prussian M-1850 Cavalry Pistol was obsolete from the moment it was adopted and was absolutely archaic by the time it was removed from service. The gun was a single shot percussion pistol with a 15mm smooth bore (about .59 caliber) and an 8 ““ tapered round barrel with a reinforced muzzle ring. It was a large gun at nearly 15” in overall length, with heavy brass mountings. The pistol also included a unique safety mechanism that both prevented accidental discharge of the pistol and helped to avoid the loss of percussion caps when the gun was loaded. In many ways it was similar to percussion dragoon and lancer pistols that were prevalent in Europe and American during the 1840-1850 period. However, the Prussians had adopted the incredibly advanced M-1841 Zündnadelgewehr (needle rifle) in 1841 and it was in production by the middle of that decade. The M-1841 was the first successful, widely issued bolt action military rifle and was the grandfather of all bolt action military rifles that would be produced in the coming decades. While it was still a rather large bore (15.4mm or about .61 caliber) and still required a black powder powered, paper cartridge, it was so far advanced compared to muzzle loading arms of the era that it seems almost anachronistic that the technologically advanced Prussian army would “saddle” its cavalry with large caliber, single shot, smooth bore, percussion pistol. It seems even stranger, when you realize that the m-1850 pistol remained in use through the Franco-Prussian War of 1870 and was only superseded in 1879 by the M-1879 Reichsrevolver, a double action, self-contained cartridge revolver. Part of the resistance to issuing a more modern handgun to the cavalry was the traditional Prussian approach to heavy cavalry that relied upon the saber charge, or in the case of the Uhlan (lancer) regiments, the charge with lances, to act as shock troops to break up enemy formations. Sadly, this concept of cavalry tactics was out of date by the mid-19th century, but it would take the early lessons learned in the Great War for the entire world’s military to know that the day of the gallant cavalry charge on horse back was truly at an end. The M-1850 pistol was produced by the Prussian state arsenals at Potsdam and Saarn, as well as by private arms contractors in Suhl like Valentin Christian Schilling (V.C.S.), Spangenberg & Company (S&C), and Spangenberg & Sauer (SP&SR), with the pistols produced as Saarn being the least often encountered, as Saarn only produced the guns from 1851 to 1862, when the arsenal was closed and the work load was moved to the arsenal at Erfurt. Even though the saber (or lance) was considered the primary weapon of the Prussian cavalry, a pair of 1850 pistols was issued for carry in pommel holsters by the troopers of Uhlan (lancer) and Kürassieren (heavy cavalry) regiments.// this pistol is covered in fine PITTING / works fine in dry fire / bore has minor pitting ////$30 sh lock marker crown over potsdam
