Description:
This is an A.H. Waters U.S. Model 1836 Flintlock Pistol, made in 1840. 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 lock plate is roll-stamped with an eagle head above “A. WATERS/MILBURY. MS./1840” in three lines. Two cartouches with oval borders are partially legible on the left stock flat. Many of these were lost to attrition during the various conflicts. , and many were converted to percussion for use by the North & South during the Civil War. Here is a true survivor in its original flintlock state.Missing front lock bolt.

The overall condition is very good. The action is strong. The bore is in good shape. The stock is in great condition. A very nice, attic condition Model 1836 made in 1840!
