Description:
SIMEON NORTH Antique PRIVATE CONTRACT Type M1816 Style Flintlock MUSKET
MILITIA STYLE with Model 1817 “COMMON RIFLE” Lock
Here we present an antique Simeon North Private Contract Type Model 1816 Style Flintlock Musket made circa the 1820s in Middletown, Connecticut. This non-standard musket is what would be considered as a "Type III Private Contract" Model 1816 musket by Simeon North for a private or militia contract. It is not a standard musket, and it has a Simeon North lock, likely from a Model 1817 "Common Rifle."
After producing the Model 1814 common rifle through contractors, the military decided to do the same with the Model 1817. The Harper's Ferry Arsenal produced a pattern weapon, which was then taken to gunsmiths to be copied. The rifle was built by Henry Deringer of Philadelphia (13,000 made), Nathan Starr & Co. of Middleton, Conn. (10,200 made), Simeon North of Middleton, Conn. (7,200 made), R. Johnson of Middleton, Conn. (5,000 made), R. & J. D. Johnson of Middleton, Conn. (3,000 made).
The overall condition is good. Weathered patina throughout. The action is strong. The bore is dark and smooth. The stock has been repaired behind the barrel and lock and is otherwise solid. Lightly refinished. The front lock screw head on the left side of the gun has split.
Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.
Barrel is 42-1/8 inches.
