ENGRAVED Antique FRENCH EMPIRE Style FLINTLOCK Military OFFICER’S Pistol
NAPOLEONIC ERA Military Pistol for an Officer
Here we present an antique Napoleonic Era French Flintlock Officer’s Pistol, made circa the early 1800s. The First French Empire (officially the French Empire) was the empire of Napoleon Bonaparte of France and the dominant power in much of continental Europe at the beginning of the 19th century. A series of wars, known collectively as the Napoleonic Wars, extended French influence to much of Western Europe and into Poland. At its height in 1812, the French Empire had 130 departments, ruled over 70 million subjects, maintained an extensive military presence in Germany, Italy, Spain, and the Duchy of Warsaw, and counted Prussia and Austria as nominal allies.
This pistol is fairly large and has a relined .40 caliber bore. This handsome pistol would have been most at home in a saddle mounted pommel holster when not punching large holes. This would have been the type of pistol an officer purchased on his own to bring to battle in case he were to come into contact with the enemy.
The overall condition is good. Strong action, the trigger must be set for the hammer to cock. Bright, rifled and sleeved bore. Wonderful grip checkering. Ramrod is absent. The stock has usual wear from age but is good overall. The front sight has been glued in place. Here is an impressive example of a French pistol from the early 19th Century!
