This is the US Springfield Pistol, also referred to as the 1855 dragoon pistol. This is a reproduction made by ANTONIO ZOLI & CO. The original was made in both Springfield and Harpers Ferry arsenals. Was carried by mounted US units from the 1850's right into the American Civil War. Although this pistol was never produced in huge numbers, due to the popularity of the revolver, many US and Confederate cavalry still used them throughout the conflict. This reproduction pistol is hard to find, these days. I am selling this for an estate. It is lightly used and functions perfectly. It has been on display hanging on a wall in a gun room for some time. It has a .58 cal 12 inch tapered round barrel. 1 in 72 inch twist. Front sight is one piece blue steel base and blade. Rear sight is blue steel open style w/1 flip up. A percussion, single shot. Uses musket size cals. Overall length is 18 1/4 inch,. Weighs 3 3/4 lbs. Recommended 30 grains of black powder, .570 round ball with patch. Very good bore. Full blue barrel and color case hardened lock, and the ram-rod ball with a pin through it attached to the front swivel. Appears used very little if at at with a sharp clean nipple and shiny rifled blued bore.The stock.is siper clean When buying a gun always have it examined by a competent gunsmith before shooting. To buy a gun from me you must get a direct email for me, with details, and shipping cost. We don’t have asite .I prefer money orders or a check. Item ships when funds come in. If you can only pay with a card let me know. I try to keep guns affordable, which means I make less money than most dealers. You won’t get altitude sickness, or nose bleed, with my prices! I consistently have the best selection of older guns If you attempt to buy, you must still contact us for details . Best to email to buy. Sometimes a local person can stop buy and purchase before the gun is removed. Sometimes not home to get calls. Some guns are required shipment to a gun dealer near you for a transfer to you when it arrives. Otherwise many older or black powder guns ship to your door. With the widest selection of older guns at great prices, We don’t have a store, and sell on the internet only. I’m easy to get along with. Thank You. Price: $395.00 |
