Description:
1836 Waters. (#158) This is one of the 23,000 manufactured by Asa H. Waters in Millbury, Mass., between 1836-1844. The Model 1836 was the primary handgun of the U.S. Dragoons and Mounted Rifles during the Mexican-American War and many service with state militias. Most were converted to percussion in the 1850s and still more by the Confederate armories at the start of the Civil War. It is generally considered to be the best made and most attractive of all U.S. single shot handguns. This example was converted to percussion using the cone method. The 8-1/2” .54 caliber barrel has a faint “P” inspector mark at the breech. No cartouches are visible on the left side of the stock. The lockplate has the Eagle head over “A. Waters” over “Milbury Mass” over “1838”. The screw is missing from the butt cap and the mainspring is very weak. All original including the swivel ramrod. Very affordable piece of American history.
LEGAL: No FFL or C&R license is required! I will require a photo copy of your state ID or driver’s license with payment to verify your age. I am a collector – not a dealer, so it is your responsibility to know your local laws regarding the transfer of antique guns before . It is my intent to follow ALL national, state and local laws. If the item cannot legally be sent to you, I will charge a 20% restocking fee.
All firearms are being sold as antiques and I make NO warranties or guarantees, whatsoever, as to a firearm’s safety. All firearms should be inspected by a qualified gunsmith before firing.
SHIPPING: No local pick up. No international shipments. Shipping within the continental United States will be $45 for pistols. Shipments to Alaska and Hawaii will incur additional charges (I’ll only charge the incremental difference in shipping costs). I’ll do my best to ship as quickly as possible, but please keep in mind that I’m an individual and don’t have a shipping department (unless you count my wife).
