The mechanics are good.  This stock has been refinished.

The Model 1836 was the last of the US martial flintlock pistols and regarded as the best. Roughly 40,000 were produced on contract by Waters and by Robert Johnson, who received a contract for 3,000 of these pistols in June 1836 and another 15,000 in March 1840. The large contract numbers reflect a renewed interest in mounted forces by the government, which had just revived the U.S. dragoons a few years earlier. These pistols were used by many state units and were the standard side arm of the U.S. dragoons in westward expansion at the time and in the Seminole and Mexican Wars. Even before production ended in 1844, however, percussion pistols were coming into use and many of these were altered to that system. Some saw continued use, especially in the hands of some southern militia units, into the Civil War. This is in original flint and is a very good example of a key piece in a martial arms or cavalry collection.
