(A) RARE BRITISH PATTERN 1738 LAND SERVICE FLINTLOCK DRAGOON PISTOL BY WILLETS, DATED 1745.

Lot # 2028 (Sale Order: 27 of 661)      

It is well-known that the Pattern 1738 British Dragoon pistols were used in America during the Revolutionary War, many by Loyalist cavalry units in the southern campaigns. This example turned up in Montreal about 40 years ago. On page 62 of "British Ordnance Small Arms 1718-1783 by de Witt Bailey, he writes "Some of these may have been fitted with Sea Service belt hooks and used for Southern provincial mounted militia from 1780". On page 91 in figure 60 of "British Military Pistols and Associated Edged Weapons" by Robert Brooker, he shows an identical pistol in the Fort Ticonderoga Museum. The pistol there has a similar, but slightly different sideplate. The round barrel is stamped on top with Tower view and proof marks as well as a maker's mark on the left side. Barrel tang stamped with a crossed scepter proof and an inspector's crown. The convex banana lockplate is engraved "WILLETS / 1745" on the tail and engraved with large crown over "GR" in the center. There is a crown over a broad arrow stamped below the pan, denoting British government ownership. Standard brass Pattern 1738 furniture with the exception of the sideplate, which is the pistol's original sideplate. The contour is the same as the standard pistols, but the sideplate is flat, rather than convex and it has a hole towards the back for a belt hook. It is marked inside with "IV" British assembly marks. Walnut stock with relief carved shaped panels around lock, sideplate, and barrel tang. Clearly stamped on top of wrist on right side with intertwined "GR" storekeeper's stamp. CONDITION: Very good overall, uncleaned and untouched. Barrel retains a brown patina and markings are excellent. Lock retains a light brown patina. Markings are excellent, lock is in its original flintlock configuration and functions well. Brass retains a dark mustard patina. Stock shows scattered minor cracks and marks from use, retains much original finish. Wooden ramrod appears to be a period replacement. A very nice period-altered example of this attractive early pattern. Barrel Length: 12" Caliber/Bore: .58 Smoothbore FFL Status: Antique Manufacturer: Willits Model: 1738 Serial Number: NSN

1790 PHILADELPHIA SILVER HILT SABER BY JOHN MYERS.

Lot # 2050 (Sale Order: 49 of 661)      

John Myers was born in 1757 and was a silversmith in Philadelphia who was active c. 1785-1804. This silver hilted saber is hallmarked by Myers twice on the top of the guard "I. Myers" contained inside a rectangle. The sword features a 33 - 1/2" curved blade with wide fuller. The blade is decorated for 25% of its length with gold inlaid scrollwork decorations. A gray patina with scattered blemishes is exhibited throughout the length of the blade but the embellishments remain prominent. The guard features an eye shaped cutout with diamond decoration at center. Stirrup knucklebow retains its shape with slight wobble where it connects to the pillow pommel. A fluted ivory grip is contained between the pommel and silver ferrule. There are scattered hairlines on the grip but it remains solid and displays a pleasing honey patina.
