Antique SIMEON NORTH U.S. CONTRACT Model 1819 .54 Caliber FLINTLOCK Pistol
Early American Army & Navy Sidearm With 1821 Dated Lock
Description: Antique SIMEON NORTH U.S. CONTRACT Model 1819 .54 Caliber FLINTLOCK Pistol Early American Army & Navy Sidearm With 1821 Dated Lock Here we present an antique U.S. Model 1819 Simeon North Flintlock Martial Pistol, made circa 1821 in Middletown, Connecticut. This .54 caliber smoothbore flintlock U.S. Contract Model 1819 pistol was made by Simeon North for a U.S. army contract. The U.S. Ordnance Department showed Simeon North a sample pair of pistols from the Harpers Ferry Armory on June 12, 1819. North then produced a pistol similar to that of Harpers Ferry with a few alterations. He signed a contract with the U.S. Military on July 21, 1819 producing 10,000 pistols. The complete production run had a total of 20,400 made. This pistol has a sliding safety bolt located at the rear of the lockplate that half cocks the hammer. The sliding safety bolt is rare for a pistol from this year. When these pistols were converted to percussion (unlike this one which has survived in its original flintlock state), this bolt was removed because it got caught on holsters. This pistol also introduced the iron swivel ramrod. It was created because wooden ramrods often fell out of the pistols and were lost. The overall condition is good. Strong action. Aged smooth bore. Solid stock remains in good shape with cartouche remnants on the left wrist and a thin stable crack near the side plate. “1821” dated lock. Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 9-1/2 inches. Caliber: .54 Smoothbore 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 $2675 #217302 SOLD Antique: Yes |
