“CSA” Marked CIVIL WAR Antique Percussion Pistol
Unit Marked, Omazange of Mobile, Alabama Marked Lock
Here we present an antique Omazange Percussion Pistol, marked with the name and unit of a Confederate soldier. This pistol was made circa 1852 in Birmingham, England. It was imported to the United States and sold through the hardware dealer Omazange & Co. of Mobile, Alabama. The percussion lock is thusly marked “OMAZANGE & CO./MOBILE”.
According to an advertisement in Columbus, Mississippi newspaper, The Primitive Republican on November 4, 1852, Omazange & Co. “Corner of Commerce & Exchang-sts., Mobile, Alabama. Agents for Peter McIntyre’s Spinning Machines, Mills and Corn Shellers, Importers and Dealers in Foreign and Domestic Hardware and Cutlery, Bar Iron, Mill Rocks, Mill Irons, Tin Plate, Nails, Guns, &c., &c.,…”
This piece will be accompanied by a copy of the advert as shown in the photos. The top of the barrel is marked “LONDON” with Birmingham proofs on the left side of the barrel. Forward of that, the top of the barrel is marked “P,D. AMOS CO A 7 REGT ALA. VOL. C.S.A.” Per the Alabama state archive:
“The Seventh organized at Pensacola, May 18, 1861, with eight infantry and two mounted companies. It was composed of twelve months' men, of companies that rendezvoused at that place. It remained on duty there till November, when it was ordered to Chattanooga, and a month later to Bowling Green. It was in a temporary brigade under Col. S.A.M. Wood, and fell back with the army to Corinth. The time of service of most of the companies expired the first week in April 1862, and it disbanded, though the company from Montgomery and Autauga, and other men of the regiment, fought at Shiloh. The mass of the men went at once into other organizations, and rendered efficient service therein.”
This pistol features a captive ramrod on a swivel under the barrel, certainly a militaristic feature to prevent loss of the ramrod on the battlefield. The lock, hammer, barrel tang and trigger guard are nicely engraved.
The overall condition is good to very good. The metal parts have a dark gray patina. The markings are legible. The walnut stock is worn and has some cracks, as seen in photos. The bore is smooth and in good condition. The action is functional.
Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.
Barrel is 9 inches in length.
Caliber: .69 percussion
The bore is in good condition and the firing mechanism is functional.
Overall condition as seen in photos.
