- Lot Description
.65 caliber, 28" pinned round barrel, no S/N. Bright finish, brass furniture, walnut stock. 6" rounded flint lock with pointed tail is marked TOWER in an arc behind the cock and with the usual {crown} / GR and small {crown} / {broad arrow} inspection forward of the cock along with the small initials TL. Integral bridled and fenced, rounded iron pan, rounded swan neck cock. Touchhole with {crown} / 17 inspection. Breech with British military proofs and the initials TL as found on the lock. Obverse stock with storekeeper's mark that appears to be dated 1805 or 1806. Sling bar on reverse, missing ring, swelled button-head ramrod. This is the later production variant of the Elliott "Light Dragoon" carbine that was initially adopted for use by the 15th Light Dragoons ca 1759-1760. The pattern was approved for general use by the Board of Ordnance in 1773, and these later production guns show some improvements and refinements from the original version. A nice Napoleonic-era British Light Dragoon carbine in its original flintlock configuration.
Very good. Metal light cleaned to bright, with all markings remaining crisp and clear. Mechanically fine, very good bore with scattered light oxidation. One of the lock mounting screws is a little short of full-length. Stock with scattered bumps, dings and handling marks. Some scattered areas of added finish are present, most noticeable around the apron and wrist.Condition
