Description:
1837 Antique ASA WATERS U.S. M1836 .54 Military DRAGOON FLINTLOCK Pistol
STANDARD ISSUE of the MEXICAN-AMERICAN WAR
Here we present an antique A.H. Waters U.S. Model 1836 Flintlock Dragoon Pistol, made in 1837. 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 the percussion converted format.
The lock plate is roll-stamped with an eagle head above “A. WATERS/MILBURY. MS./1837” in three lines. The left side of the barrel is roll-stamped: “U.S./JA/P” in three lines. Many of these were lost to attrition during the various conflicts listed above, and many were converted to percussion for use by the North & South during the Civil War.
The overall condition is good. Nice patina throughout. The action is strong. The bore is smooth and patinated. The stock shows two Ordnance inspector cartouches; there is a short, stable crack that goes from the rear lock screw to the trigger pin on the left stock flat.
Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.
Barrel is 8-1/2 inches.
