MEXICAN-AMERICAN WAR Antique WATERS U.S. M1836 DRAGOON .54 FLINTLOCK Pistol 1843 Dated MILITARY Pistol Used into the CIVIL WAR
Description: MEXICAN-AMERICAN WAR Antique WATERS U.S. M1836 DRAGOON .54 FLINTLOCK Pistol 1843 Dated MILITARY Pistol Used into the CIVIL WAR Here we present an antique Asa H. Waters U.S. Model 1836 Flintlock Pistol, made in 1843. This pistol would have started out life as a flintlock and had a period conversion as the new percussion technology developed before being reconverted back to its original flintlock state. There were actually two manufacturers of these guns: Asa Waters and Robert Johnson. Combined, the production totals were 41,000 guns. This was the last U.S. martial pistol to use the flintlock system, and many consider this the best of all U.S. flint guns due to its craftsmanship and aesthetic appeal. The gun is historically significant as this was the primary issue pistol during the Mexican American War (1846-1848) and was even significantly used during the American Civil War (1861-1865), especially in this percussion converted format. The lock plate is roll-stamped with an eagle head above “A. WATERS/MILBURY, MS./1843” in three lines. There is a single letter “S” inspection mark also on the lock. Many of these were lost to attrition during the various conflicts listed above, and many were converted for use, as is this one, by the North & South during the Civil War. The overall condition is very good. Very nicely reconverted to flintlock. Gray patina throughout. The action is excellent. The bore is patinated and smooth. The stock shows two good cartouches as well as some period chips and dents that have smoothed over with use. A nice piece! Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 8-1/2 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 $1800 #247410 Price: $1,800.00 Buy Now Antique: Yes Contact Seller |
