Antique Henry ASTON Contract M1842 DRAGOON Pistol Made Just After the Mexican-American War in 1850
Description: Antique Henry ASTON Contract M1842 DRAGOON Pistol Made Just After the Mexican-American War in 1850 Here we present an antique Aston U.S. Model 1842 Dragoon’s Pistol, made in 1850 in Middletown, Connecticut, just after the close of the Mexican-American War. The Model 1842 saw service during a time of great change and increasing tension, as well as firearms innovation. The Mexican-American War (1846-1848), the numerous conflicts with Native Americans, annexing of new territory, the rising blood-pressure over slavery, and a quick 36% population increase that all culminated in the blood-letting of the American Civil War. This was the first official percussion pistol to be adopted by the U.S. and simultaneously the last large smooth bore single shot pistol. By 1845 it was the primary issued weapon to the First and Second Regiment of Dragoons, replacing many of their Model 1836 flintlocks, just in time for the Mexican-American War. The Model 1842 was the last single shot smoothbore pistol issued by the U.S. Army. The 1842 features sturdy construction with lots of brass for support. This was important during a time when one would expend their shots and still have a fight on their hands. Striking your opponent with the pommel of your gun was quite effective. The ramrod is captive, so that it would not be lost in the heat of battle on top of a horse. Many of these were used, especially initially, by both sides during the American Civil War. The overall condition is fair. The iron parts have a dark brown patina. The markings are mostly legible. The stock shows this pistol has been there and done that. The inspector cartouches are still clear. The bore is dark. The hammer has a little wobble side to side but the action remains strong! Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 8 ½ inches. Caliber: .54 Percussion Overall condition as seen in photos. Very Fast. Very Safe. FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE. Delivered directly to your door by express mail! Guaranteed AUTHENTIC & Includes CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY. ancestryguns $875 #190382 SOLD Antique: Yes |
