Description:
U.S. Harpers Ferry Model 1805 Flintlock Pistol
54 caliber smoothbore with 10 1/16" round barrel with iron rib and wooden ramrod. The Model 1805 pistols were manufactured at Harpers Ferry c. 1806-1808 and were the first U.S. military pistols produced at one of the national armories, the only flintlock pistol model manufactured at Harpers Ferry, and one of two flintlock pistols models manufactured at the national armories with the other being the Model 1817s manufactured at Springfield Armory. 4,096 Model 1805 pistols were completed in matching numbered pairs. This pistol was manufactured in 1807. It is one of an estimated 2,580 manufactured that year. It has a smoothbore barrel with the "P" and "US" proofs and "1965" on the left at the breech. The lock has the federal eagle and "US" at the center and "HARPERS/FERRY/1807" at the tail. The furniture is brass. The half-length walnut stock has a very very faint cartouche on the left flat.
Condition: Good with dark brown patina on the lock and barrel, mild pitting, deep aged patina on the brass furniture, and general mild wear. The stock is also good and has general mild wear, including some small chips and cracks, and a faint cartouche. There was a arsenal repair done to the heel of the stock back in the day. It's my opinion that the ramrod my be a replacement and a couple of screws have been replaced. Mechanically fine. I will consider trades and I do offer a layaway plan. Please feel free to ask questions.
