Payment Types Accepted: Credit Card, Certified Check, Money Order Description: Antique ASA WATERS 1836 FLINTLOCK Dragoon Pistol 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. The lock plate is roll-stamped with an eagle head above "A.W. WATERS/MILBURY. MS./1837" in three lines. The left side of the barrel is roll-stamped: "U.S./JH/P" (JH for Joseph Hannis) in three lines. The left stock flat is stamped with the Ordnance sub-inspectors and final inspectors’ marks which consist of the script initials "JH" and "MPL" (Major of Ordnance Mann P. Lomax) with oval borders. Many of these were lost to attrition during the various conflicts listed above, and many were converted to percussion for use by the North & South during the Civil War. The overall condition is very good. The iron parts have a gray patina. The markings are clear. The walnut stock is smooth and solid. The bore is smooth and dark. The action remains strong.
