British Light Sea Service Dragoon project !
The frizzen tail and pan bridle ends are left square and blocky on these….they don’t look very “finished” 🫤 Added abit of shape to the tail and rounded the front of the bridle abit… Looks abit more refined 👍 -
British Light Sea Service Dragoon project !
Honestly folks it’s all good…. I added dragoon in the title for my own reasons, I see alot of these originals and repros for sale labeled as “British dragoons” even referred to as Sea service dragoons. I guess more to describe the style of pistol rather then who used it…at any rate the comments... -
British Light Sea Service Dragoon project !
I love the look of a well aged gun but I’ve got far more years behind me then I do in front of me so at this point I don’t have the patience 😜 I rubbed down the shine with some 0000 scotch pads….a little mustard for some dark spots here and there. Cold blue the works, then rub that back down... -
British Light Sea Service Dragoon project !
I removed (turned) 50% off the backsides….they were almost 1/2” tall before. I tried to get them closer to original looking ones…..sorry I should have taken a before pic ! A pic of an original off the net… -

British Light Sea Service Dragoon project !
Back to business….. Got the metal work mostly finished up…turned down those humongous Lock bolts to about 1/2 of what they were. Rubbed down the high polish and gave it some “grey” I just prefer the grey look vs the polish🤷🏻♂️ Got some reworking to do on the brass then onto that nice... -

British Light Sea Service Dragoon project !
Meh no worries….it’s all fun folks😃 That’s actually how the pistol was listed for sale when I bought it so I titled the thread that way….surprised it took this long for someone to catch it 😜👍 Yes it would be incorrect to refer to a Sea service pistol as a “dragoon” 👌 -
British Light Sea Service Dragoon project !

Arrived!! British Sea Service Pistol from Loyalist Arms!!
I guess it’s for piece of mind….if it doesn’t blowup with a double charge then it’s likely gonna last forever with the “standard” loads. Also in the event one should accidentally “double” charge it down the road I guess one can assume it will survive… I usually just give er abit of a heavy... -
