Description:
RARE Variant Antique WATERS 1836 FLINTLOCK Dragoon
Mexican-American WAR Pistol, Dated 1837
Here we present an antique A.H. Waters U.S. Model 1836 Flintlock Pistol, made in 1837. 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 marked “A.WATERS/MILBURY MS./1837”. 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 Justin Murphy’s initials are found on the barrel that he inspected. Joseph Hannis’s and Major Henry Knox Craig’s initials are in cartouches on the left side of the stock.
The overall condition is good. The metal surfaces are lightly pitted all over. The markings are legible. The walnut stock is in good condition with good cartouches. The bore is much like the exterior of the barrel. The action is strong.
Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.
