Description:
SCARCE Antique AMES U.S. NAVY Model 1842 Pistol
1 of only 2,000, Dated Pre-Mexican-American WAR
Here we present an antique N.P. Ames U.S. Navy Contract Model 1842 .54 Caliber Pistol, made circa 1843 in Springfield, Massachusetts. Only 2000 of these were made by Ames. Most of these scarce pistols saw service through the American Civil War. This one was made just prior to the Mexican-American War. Unlike most martial pistols of its time, the hammer is mounted on the interior of the lock plate. It also features a captive ramrod on a swivel to avoid loss in the sea during boarding maneuvers. Its smoothbore made loading straightforward.
The lock is marked “N.P. AMES/SPRINGFIELD/MASS”. The rear of the lock is marked “U.S.N./1843”. The barrel is marked “U.S.N./1844/RP/P”. The left side of the stock features two ovals remaining from the original government inspector cartouches.
The overall condition is good. The metal surfaces are dark with age. The markings are clear and legible. The stock is in good shape with a repair just ahead of the lock. The bore is clear and smooth. The action on this pistol is strong.
Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.
Barrel is 6 inches.
Caliber: .54 Percussion
