Scarce SIMEON NORTH US M1819 Hall FLINTLOCK Musket
Description: Scarce SIMEON NORTH US M1819 Hall FLINTLOCK Musket Original US Military Flintlock Dated “1835” Here we present a Simeon North Hall Breech-Loading Model 1819 Flintlock Musket in its unaltered state, manufactured in 1835. In January of 1827, the US Ordnance Department contracted with Simeon North to produce 5,000 flintlock Hall Rifles. John Harris Hall was an innovative inventor and forward thinking gunsmith during his time. Aside from his contributions to mass production, Hall also designed and developed the M1819 Hall Rifle that bears his name. Though a single shot long gun, the primary quality of this rifle was its patented breech loading system which allowed the operator to load and reload his weapon at the action as opposed to the muzzle. The breechblock pivots upwards for loading and is released via a lever device (a.k.a. fishtail) that protrudes from the bottom of the stock forward of the trigger. This meant the shooter no longer had to stand his weapon on its butt and engage in a time-consuming reloading process. The M1819 Hall Rifle became the first breech loading rifle in the world to be adopted in significant quantities by a national army. In 1819, the United States Army formally adopted the Hall Rifle into inventory, superseding the Harpers Ferry Model 1803 flintlock line, with an order for 1,000 Hall Rifles, thus earning the designation of “Model 1819”. Many Model 1819 muskets saw conversion to percussion in the lead in to the Civil War, becoming the Model 1841 Hall Rifle. In total, 23,500 Model 1819 Hall Rifles were produced. Hall died long before the war on February 26, 1841, though not before leaving his imprint on firearms and mass production history. This rifle bears the inspection mark of Nahum W. Patch on the left stock flat and another on the top rear of the stock comb. The overall condition is good. The iron parts have a mixed gray patina. The markings are clear. The walnut stock shows lots of use and remains solid. The bore is dark and dusty. The action is excellent. Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.
