Description:
Antique SIMEON NORTH US Model 1816 Percussion Pistol
Early American Army & Navy Sidearm
Here we present an antique U.S. 1816 Simeon North Pistol, made 1817-20 in Middletown, Connecticut. Fewer than 20,000 of these were made for the U.S. military. Many were updated to the much more reliable percussion system in the 1830s. The service life was quite long for this pistol. The famous scout and Indian fighter Kit Carson fought with one of these, still in its original flintlock form, during the Mexican-American War from 1846-48. Even though percussion arms, including pistols, had been adopted by the U.S. in the 30s, it was not unusual for flintlocks to still be in use. Primary conflicts that would have involved this piece during its service life were the Seminole Wars, the Pawnee Expedition, the Mexican-American War and even the American Civil War.
The lock is marked “MIDN CON.” The left side of the barrel is marked “P/US”. The gun was converted from flintlock to percussion using a drum type conversion.
The overall condition is fair. The metal surfaces are dark. The markings are somewhat legible. The stock has been repaired along the grips and remains sturdy. The left side of the stock also has a splinter. The bore is smooth and untouched. The action is somewhat weak, but still goes into half- and full-cock.
Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.
Barrel is 9 inches.
Caliber: .58 Percussion
