Description:
RARE Variant Antique WATERS 1836 FLINTLOCK Dragoon
Mexican-American WAR, Only 3,000 So Marked, 1844
Here we present an antique A.H. Waters U.S. Model 1836 Flintlock Pistol, made in 1844. There were actually two manufacturers of these guns: Asa Waters and Robert Johnson. Combined, the production totals 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.
This example was made by Asa Waters and is one of only 3,000 marked “EAGLE HEAD/A.H.WATERS & Co./MILBURY MASS./1844”. Many of these were lost to attrition during the various conflicts listed above, and many were converted for use by North & South during the Civil War. Principal Inspector James Harris’s initials are found on the barrel that he inspected.
The overall condition is very good. It remains in the original flintlock configuration. The entirety of the metal parts are a nice plum color. Markings are clear and legible. The walnut stock is very attractive though it has a couple cracks as shown in the photos. The bore is in good condition. The action is very strong.
Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.
Barrel is 8-1/2 inches in length.
Caliber: .54
The bore is in good condition and the firing mechanism is excellent.
Overall condition as seen in photos.
Here is a fine looking original 1836 flintlock, a fantastic representative example of a firearm used during the Mexican-American War.
