Wow -- this is really nice! This past November I bought an India-made reproduction of this same 12" Sea Service pistol and stripped and refinished it. Although mine wouldn't be mistaken for an original close up and the brass in particular is more crudely formed, in comparing the two while watching this I'm pleased at how mine didn't turn out all that bad. Thanks for showing us this cool original, Ethan!
I love seeing that old flintlock. I love all old guns.
I would like to see a series of tuning a lock
Ethan, check out the two hatch marks on the the tang and the breech area of the barrel. Looks like it was pulled at some time.
I thought the same thing! Good eye
Also, the belt hook does have a small projection at its small end that fits into a corresponding hole in the tail of the sideplate. It can not be seen unless disassembled.
Thanks for the ruler in the video. I'm taking a Military Heritage Sea Service Pistol, I consider an over built kit by ~10% - 15%, and reworking it so it better represents an original pistol. It's just for my learning about the pistol and my desire to have something that looks closer to the real thing. I will restock with walnut and case harden the lock after extensive grinding and shaping. Use that ruler more often in your video, please. Thanks again, Ethan!
Ethan, I think you should look in to a kit of this pistol. 😊😊 Nice project.
Great ,thanks Ethan
A long time ago, in the mid 70s my aunt took me with her on a vacation to the then sleepy Spanish Mediterranean island of Mallorca. Among the souvenirs I saw for sale in many gift shops were British Sea Service Flintlock pistols. None of them were as nice as the pistol shown here, My memory is rather hazy but I do seem to remember that the sale price for the pistols that I saw at the time was around 5,000 Spanish Pesetas or if my memory is right about $50 American. I didn't have that kind of money with me so buying one was out of the question.
What you see forward of the trigger under the guard is the nut into which the tang screw threads.
Hey Ethan....Now ya need one of your own.
I would love to own a kit of that style. Would be interesting to see if any are out there in the wild
Speaking of nice flintlock. Maybe it's just because it's being auctioned by notisland auction, but that's an attractive banger.
Very nice piece! 👍👍
Sweet 😋
Excellent presentation as per usual, thank you very much.
Can anyone please tell me, did military officers of this period armed with these sorts of service pistols, load these pistols with prep repaired paper cartridges, and did this mean they were also equipped with a wooden and leather cartridge box, suspended on their service belts?
And if so, how many cartridges were carried on their person in the cartridge box?
Any accurate answer will be greatly appreciated by me. 👍
Like it, Love it, Gotta have it!
I hope I can see a video of life fire demonstration of Mantons musket's self-priming system, but knowing that most of the gun range in USA don't allow self-priming the musket...
Well, maybe I can't see the real Manton self-priming system in action in my live...😢
I think i have the lock from one of these pistols. Could you tell me if it has a half cock or not ? Mine has full cock only and appears to be an original not from India.
