Antique SIMEON NORTH U.S. M1816 .54 Military FLINTLOCK Pistol KIT CARSON
U.S. CONTRACT Early American Army & Navy Sidearm
Description: Antique SIMEON NORTH U.S. M1816 .54 Military FLINTLOCK Pistol KIT CARSON U.S. CONTRACT Early American Army & Navy Sidearm Here we present an antique Simeon North U.S. Contract Model 1816 Flintlock Pistol, manufactured between 1817-20 in Middletown, Connecticut, and inspected by Luther Sage. 19,374 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”. Though many of these pistols were converted to percussion, here is a true survivor in its original flintlock form. The overall condition is good+. Dark, weathered patina throughout. The action is strong. Original flintlock. The bore is smooth and dark. The stock has a bit of a chip forward of the lock, otherwise solid. Markings remain visible on the left stock flat. An iron ramrod has been made to replace the lost wooden one, probably from long ago. The initials “L.S.” remain visible just above the vent. This one looks like it has seen some things in its day and is in untouched condition; a great piece if you want the gun that still has the look! Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 9-1/8 inches. Caliber: .54 Flintlock Overall condition as seen in photos. Very Fast. Very Safe. FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE. Delivered directly to your door by express mail! Guaranteed AUTHENTIC & Includes CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY. ancestryguns $2400 #247412 Price: $2,400.00 Buy Now Antique: Yes Contact Seller |
