Description:
Antique JOHNSON 1836 Flintlock DRAGOON Dated 1838
Mexican-American War Vet, Dated 1838
Here we present an antique R. Johnson U.S. Model 1836 Flintlock Pistol, made in 1838. 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, due to arms shortages on both sides.
This example was made by Robert Johnson. The ramrod is a captive style to prevent loss on the battlefield. Faint outlines of the government inspector cartouches are visible.
The overall condition is good. The iron parts are dark gray. The markings are mostly legible. The walnut stock has a repair through the pistol grip. The bore is fair. The action is strong.
Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.
Barrel is 8-1/2 inches in length.
