Product Description
NAPOLEONIC WARS French CHARLEVILLE Model An XIII Flintlock MILITARY Pistol
WAR OF 1812 and Napoleonic Wars Era Cavalry Pistol
Here we present an antique French Pistolet modèle An XIII, or Pistol Model An 13, made at the Charleville Arsenal in France in 1807 with a production run between 1806 and 1814. This is the Classic Military Flintlock Pistol of the Napoleonic era.
This model was manufactured at all four of the French Arsenals, Charleville, Maubeuge, Tulle, and St-Etienne. This pistol was made as a cavalry pistol for the mounted soldier on horseback. Over 300,000 of these pistols were made during their 8 year production run. This pistol was designed to equip mounted units, each horseman using two pistols. It was also used by the Navy. An improved version, known as the M1822, was produced after the Napoleonic Wars. Proving that imitation is the greatest form of flattery, the Americans copied the design as the “Harpers Ferry Pistol” and used it against the British in the War of 1812. This pistol is of robust construction with lots of brass for support. The bore is a massive .69 caliber.
The overall condition is good, polished. Original flintlock. The action is excellent. The bore is smooth and dim. The stock is cracked on the left side and on the right behind the lock.
