New Land Pattern flintlock pistol, post 1802 for East India Company
New Land Pattern pistols were first produced for the British service in 1802. The swivel rammer and raised semi-water proof pan marked a technolgical advance in flintlock pistols. The 23cm barrel and .65in calibre of the earlier patterns were retained. The flat butt-plate and lanyard ring are unique to the East India Company pattern and this style of stock remained the basis of all subsequent pistols in Company service.
