Description:
Antique WATERS/JOHNSON U.S. Model 1836 .56 Cal. Smoothbore FLINTLOCK Pistol
STANDARD ISSUE of the MEXICAN-AMERICAN WAR!
Here we present an antique U.S. Model 1836 Flintlock Pistol, manufactured in 1837. Though worn and unreadable, 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 barrel, ramrod, swivel, barrel band, trigger guard, buttcap and back strap were "national armory bright". The lock plate, reinforced hammer, frizzen, barrel tang and trigger were color casehardened. The lock plate has a removable brass pan. The stock is straight grain, oil-finished black walnut.
The overall condition is good. Strong action. Aged smooth bore. The stock is in very good shape with less than expected wear. “US/LF/P” is stamped atop the barrel. A partial eagle/shield can be seen on the lock.
