Antique SIMEON NORTH U.S. Model 1816 .54 Caliber Military FLINTLOCK Pistol
Early American Army & Navy Sidearm!
Here we present an antique U.S. 1816 Simeon North flintlock pistol, made 1817-20 in Middletown, Connecticut. Fewer than 20,000 of these were made for the U.S. military. Many were updated to the much more reliable percussion system in the 1830s. The service life was quite long for this pistol. The famous scout and Indian fighter Kit Carson fought with one of these, still in its original flintlock form, during the Mexican-American War from 1846-48. Even though percussion arms, including pistols, had been adopted by the U.S. in the 30s, it was not unusual for flintlocks to still be in use. Primary conflicts that would have involved this piece during its service life were the Seminole Wars, the Pawnee Expedition, the Mexican-American War and even the American Civil War.
The lock is marked “S. NORTH, US, MIDL. CON.”. along with the Federal Eagle. The barrel is also marked “US”.
The overall condition is good. Strong action. Good, smooth bore, dark and aged. The stock/grip are in good shape containing a minor, stable crack in front of the trigger guard and small dings. Legible markings. “P/JS” is stamped on the left side of the barrel.
