Henry Aston Model 1842 Percussion Pistol
Description:
Henry Aston Model 1842 percussion pistol, original and complete, in very good condition. Barrel in original arsenal bright now greyed, rear stamped with "US", "WN" and "P", and on the left side with "JH". The barrel has a brass front sight blade. A swivel type steel ramrod with button head is mounted at the front of the barrel, with all components intact and fully functional. Strong lock mainspring and good mechanics. The lock is stamped in front of the hammer "US', underneath which is "H. Aston & Co"; and vertically at the rear of the hammer, "MIDDTN", underneath which is "CONN", and underneath that is "1851". There is excellent wood to metal fit. Original wood finish is good with no cracks, but some pressure points and minor dings consistent with age.There are two sets of inspector initials on the left flat. The wood behind the nipple bolster has minimal erosion from firing. The bottom of the brass butt plate has some small dings as shown in the pictures.
Packing and shipping to anywhere in the Continental USA by UPS ground will cost $30 in addition to the purchase price. I do not accept payment by credit cards or Pay Pal.
Please Note: I am just an old guy who collected guns, parts and civil war memorabilia for many years who is liquidating his collection. I do not make my living buying and selling guns. My comments on any particular gun being sold are based on my knowledge as a collector, my examination of the gun, my research, and my comparison with other similar guns. I do not purport to be the second coming of Norm Flayderman, and recognize that there is always something to learn in connection with antique guns (although others I encounter seem to think they know everything). The pictures I post are intended to give you what you need to make a fair assessment of the item being sold. Please study these closely. If you find there is some detail that is unclear, let me know and I will get you that detail if it exists. Finally and most importantly, be clear that the guns I am selling are being sold as collectibles and nothing more. I can tell you from years of competing with the NSSA as a black powder shooter, the shooting of antique guns is an activity that is totally different from modern shooting. The metallurgy of antique barrels and breach plugs can only sustain a certain amount of velocity, and may be impaired after 150 years or so of deterioration or abuse. Assuming a capable gunsmith has pronounced an antique gun safe to fire, only true black powder can be used, and then only in appropriate amounts. People who want to have the historical connection of firing an antique gun without the knowledge, experience or supervision to properly do so can wind up maiming or killing themselves. Please don’t do that.
