Description:
1842 Aston. SALE PENDING. This is a Model 1842 Aston U.S. Contract Dragoon’s Pistol made in 1852 in Middletown, Connecticut. Henry Aston was a gunmaker from Middletown who received a government contract to produce 24,000 Model 1842 pistols in his first contract with the US gov’t which spanned from 1846-1850. In 1850, he received a second contract for an additional 6,000 units, all of which were produced in 1851-52. This pistol is from the 1850 contract. It has a lockplate marking of US/Aston & Co and behind the hammer MIDDTn/CONN/1852. Lock functions properly. The breech of the barrel has US/W.N/P. The wood is excellent even though it has no cartouche (either missed by inspector or not issued). All original including the swivel ramrod. The Model 1842 was the last single shot smoothbore pistol issued by the U.S. Army. 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).
