Description:
#3630 A. Waters Model 1836 “Horse Pistol”, 54cal percussion dated 1842 and almost certain to have been converted from a flint rather than being made as a percussion when new. There are plugged frizzen spring holes in the lockplate and it shows a fair amount of usage (…as it was probably issued in both the Mexican Wars and the Civil War). This is the less common style conversion which used a shotgun style hammer (see Flaydermans Guide) rather than the more common Model 1842 type hammer. The metal has a light to medium roughness overall, especially on the barrel and an even plum brown color on most of the metal ; wood is slightly above average with no serious deficits and dimly visible cartouches. Markings are good.
Soon to be eclipsed by the far more efficient revolver, these various Cavalry used single-shot Horse Pistols seem to still be an unappreciated and relatively inexpensive collector item. About VG as described. $550
