Birmingham made copy of the 1802 New Land pattern flintlock pistol

Birmingham made copy of the 1802 New Land Pattern flintlock pistol. (.65 Cal smooth bore 9 inch barrel, Birmingham proof marks and attached swivel rammer). The official looking crown and "TOWER" marks on the lock were meant to impress the gullible buying public of the time. The brass furniture remains untouched. The stock has quite a few handling marks and chips, some are filled with bees wax. The action is faulty and the rammer easily slides out. All in all it is still a solid Birmingham commercial pistol. $2,150 Shop 19
