NORTH CAROLINA Marked Johnson 1836 FLINTLOCK
Antebellum Horse Pistol Dated 1839
Here we present an antique R. Johnson U.S. Model 1836 Flintlock Pistol, made in 1839. There were actually two manufacturers of these guns: Asa Waters and Robert Johnson. Combined, the production totals 41,000 guns. At a cost of $9.00 per gun, 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, due to arms shortages on both sides.
This example was made by Robert Johnson out of Middleton, Connecticut. The ramrod is a captive style to prevent loss on the battlefield. Faint outlines of the government inspector cartouches are visible. The barrel is marked “N. CAROLINA”. This would have been purchased by the state of North Carolina for the state militia.
The overall condition is very good. The iron surfaces have a dark, even patina throughout. The markings are clear and legible. The stock is in good condition, showing wear and remaining solid with a few old chips worn smooth with age. The bore is smooth and dark. The action is excellent. Here is a fantastic example of an unconverted military flintlock pistol that was purchased by the state of North Carolina for its militia prior to the Mexican-American and was almost certainly used just as you see it during the American Civil War!
