Antique ASA WATERS US Model 1836 .54 Caliber Smoothbore FLINTLOCK Pistol
STANDARD ISSUE Pistol of the MEXICAN-AMERICAN WAR
Description: Antique ASA WATERS US Model 1836 .54 Caliber Smoothbore FLINTLOCK Pistol STANDARD ISSUE Pistol of the MEXICAN-AMERICAN WAR Here we present an antique A.H. Waters U.S. Model 1836 Flintlock Pistol, made in 1837 in Milbury, Massachusetts. There were actually two manufacturers of these guns, Asa Waters and Robert Johnson. Combined, the production totaled 41,000 guns. This was the last U.S. martial pistol to use the flintlock system, and many consider this the best of all U.S. flint guns due to its craftsmanship and aesthetic appeal. The gun is historically significant as this was the primary issue pistol during the Mexican American War (1846-1848) and was even significantly used during the American Civil War (1861-1865), especially in the percussion converted format. The lock plate is roll-stamped with an eagle head (very faint) above "A. WATERS / MILBURY. MS. / 1837" in three lines. The left side of the barrel is roll-stamped: "U.S. / JCS / P" in three lines. There are two cartouches with oval borders that are partially legible on the left stock flat. Many of these were lost to attrition during the various conflicts listed above, and many were converted to percussion for use by the North & South during the Civil War. Here is a true survivor in its original flintlock state. The overall condition is very good. Gray patina throughout. The action is excellent. The bore is smooth and in good condition. The stock is solid and shows two good cartouches. A nice specimen! Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 8-1/2 inches. Caliber: .54 Flintlock 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 $2100 #227807 SOLD Antique: Yes |
