Antique SIMEON NORTH US CONTRACT Model 1819 .54 Caliber FLINTLOCK Pistol
Early American Army & Navy Sidearm With 1822 Dated Lock
Here we present an antique US Model 1819 Simeon North flintlock pistol, made circa 1822 in Middletown, Connecticut. Many were updated to the much more reliable percussion system in the 1830s. The service life was quite long for this pistol. The famous scout and Indian fighter Kit Carson fought with one of these, still in its original flintlock form, during the Mexican-American War from 1846-48. Even though percussion arms, including pistols, had been adopted by the U.S. in the 30s, it was not unusual for flintlocks to still be in use. Primary conflicts that would have involved this piece during its service life were the Seminole Wars, the Pawnee Expedition, the Mexican-American War and even the American Civil War. Again, though many of these pistols were converted to percussion, here is a true survivor in its original flintlock form.
The front sight is a brass blade and the rear sight is oval on the tang. This example has survived in its original flintlock state.
The overall condition is very good. The action is as strong as ever. The bore is good. “S. North/US/MIDLTN CONN.” can be read on the lock. The lock is also dated “1822”. Refinished. “JD/P/US” has been stamped on the barrel top, the initials for US Ordnance Inspector J. Dowler. Four notches have been struck on the left stock. A great piece of US history!
