Antique percussion pistol, probably officer or navel issue as it has a lanyard ring to the stock. This is a good heavy pistol stamped to the stock for 1753 so probably started life as a flintlock then converted to percussion in the 19th century, all in good solid condition holding well on full and half cock and firing as it should. The ramrod is not original to the gun but fits well
