Antique ROBERT JOHNSON US Model 1836 .54 Cal. Percussion CONVERSION Pistol
STANDARD ISSUE Pistol of the MEXICAN-AMERICAN WAR
Here we present an antique Robert Johnson Model 1836 Percussion Conversion Pistol dated 1840 in Middletown, Connecticut. This .54 caliber, smoothbore pistol would have started out life as a flintlock and converted to percussion likely around the time of the American Civil War 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 lock is marked "US / R. JOHNSON / MIDDN CONN. / 1840" below the brass pan. Inspection and proof marks “US / NWP / P” are visible atop the barrel. The left stock flat is marked with two very clear oval cartouches. This one was converted using a small bolster and a “commercial” type hammer with light engraving.
The overall condition is very good. Bright finish. The action is excellent. The bore is smooth and reflective. The stock is solid and shows two good cartouches.
