Pistol Butt plate

A first for me, I've found a few rifle plates before but never one of these. Looks like a British Sea Service pistol plate?

Wow that's a very cool relic. Early style too

Yeah, I'm really thrilled with it! Is there a way of getting a rough idea of a date for these?

I agree on the time frame. Certainly c.1800-1820 time frame. GREAT find! I dug my first pistol butt plate a couple years ago.

Congrats!

Cool! Wonder if it ever struck someone over the head, those old single shot pistols were often turned into clubs after the shot was fired. :thumbsup:
