Can't give you much information but those are really nice.

Pretty dang cool!!

Large crown and Tower indicates military. Proof marks are good, but your images are too small to make them out well.

What is the bore?

They are indisputably English, though.

Please take full-length photos with the pistols horizontal but without the spiffy tartan background. A table cloth is good.

Close-ups of the marking are also required.

Presumably you've bought them - what were they sold as?

Thank you for reply. I’ve been offered them to buy, but I dont have them in hand, I’ve just been sent these pictures. I’ll see if he can send better pictures.

Sure look like a pair of British Light Dragoons to me.
Very nice

Could be, but the lack of captive ramrods might say differently. Perhaps Mr Person might join us and add his usual invaluable insight?

Pretty sure the captive rods came on the later models….1801 ?
1759 and 1799 were wood ram rods originally
But I am certainly no expert

Looks like a brace of British Pattern 1799 Eliott Light Dragoon Pistols.

I think youre right there, they bear the style of Elliot Light Dragoon Pistols.

It's not an Eliott which does not have an entry ramrod thimble but just one a couple inches out from the stock. This is the pattern 1811 Light Dragoon pistol.

They are post 1800 British military pistols. Not exactly sure if they are Army or Navy models. Probably Napoleonic era, or later.
