Antique ROBERT JOHNSON US Model 1836 .54 Cal. Smoothbore Conversion Pistol
STANDARD ISSUE of the MEXICAN-AMERICAN WAR!
Here we present an antique Robert Johnson Model 1836 Percussion Conversion Pistol dated 1838 in Middletown, Connecticut. This .54 caliber smoothbore, percussion pistol would have started out life as a flintlock and converted when the more reliable percussion firing system was introduced and is one of approximately 18,000 Model 1836 pistols manufactured by Robert Johnson.
The Model 1836 was widely considered to be the best designed and manufactured flintlock pistol. The pistol has an 8 1/2-inch round barrel with a brass front sight blade, swivel ramrod with button head and iron mountings. The barrel, ramrod, butt cap, barrel band and trigger guard are "bright" finish. The lock plate, hammer, and tang were once casehardened. The right lock is marked "US / JOHNSON / MIDDN.CONN. / 1838". Inspection and proof marks US / TW / P are visible atop the barrel. The Model 1836 Flintlock Pistol was the standard issue handgun of the Mexican War.
The overall condition is good. Strong action. Good bore, clear and aged. Solid stock/grip with an average amount of handling wear from use (minor dents and dings). “1838” dated lock. The ramrod is a little loose and falls out with gravity.
