EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Pattern 1796 flintlock pistol for heavy dragoons, featuring a variation with a ramrod pipe and Ordnance pattern lock. Created by the Italian School in the 16th century, this remarkable piece is currently housed at the National Army Museum in London. The Pattern 1796 flintlock pistol was specifically designed for heavy dragoons and played an essential role in equipping these troops. This particular variation of the pistol includes a ramrod pipe and Ordnance pattern lock, adding to its unique features. Dating back to around 1800, this artifact represents an important era in military history. Notably, these pistols were crafted with the same caliber as the accompanying carbines used by heavy dragoons. This allowed them to utilize carbine cartridges after removing some of the powder from them. Such ingenuity demonstrates how soldiers during that time maximized their resources on the battlefield. With its intricate design and historical significance, this photograph serves as a testament to both artistic craftsmanship and military innovation. The image captures not only the beauty of this antique firearm but also provides insight into its practicality within cavalry units. Bridgeman Images has skillfully captured every detail of this exquisite piece through their lens, allowing viewers to appreciate its artistry while gaining knowledge about weaponry used by armed forces centuries ago.
