Description:
Antique A.H. WATERS M1836 Percussion DRAGOON .54 Caliber CONVERSION Pistol
MEXICAN-AMERICAN WAR Conversion Pistol, Dated 1837
Here we present an antique Asa H. Waters U.S. Model 1836 Percussion Pistol, made in 1837. This pistol would have started out life as a flintlock and had a period conversion as the new percussion technology developed. The lock plate is roll-stamped with an eagle head above "A.W. WATERS/MILBURY. MS./1837" in three lines. This pistol received a cylindrical nipple bolster and a commercial style hammer when it was converted.
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 this percussion converted format.
The overall condition is good. Strong action. The bore is in good shape for its age. Clear markings. Solid stock/grip with average wear and contains a repair in front of the lock. Clear markings. “1837” dated lock. “US/LF/P” marked atop the barrel.
Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.
