- Lot Description
.54 caliber, 7" round barrel with faceted breech, s/n 75 on interior of frame and in right grip panel, with assembly number M3 on grip frame and tumbler. Bright finish, captive ramrod, walnut grips. Unmarked externally, with the exception of some light engraving at the breech band joining the frame and the barrel. These enigmatic American percussion pistols are believed to be the work of Asa Waters as some examples are known with his markings. Some examples are also known with US inspection and proof marks, suggesting at least limited martial use. A very scarce American pistol from the middle of the 19th century.
Good. Metal with a mottled pewter gray patina, scattered surface discoloration, oxidation, and light pitting. Needs mechanical attention, as the sear spring is weak, and the tumbler and sear do not always properly engage. Bore good but pitted. Grips good, with bumps, dings, and handling marks.Condition
