- Lot Description
.64 caliber, 10" round pinned barrel, no S/N. Brown finish, brass furniture, walnut stock. Flat beveled lock in original flint with matching assembly marks throughout, marked S. NORTH / BERLIN / CON at tail and with an {eagle} / U. STATES forward of the cock. Removable brass pan, rounded reinforced cock. Top jaw and screw may be replacements. Brass side plate, triggerguard, butt cap and ramrod pipe. Iron belt hook. Wooden ramrod an old replacement. Only 3,000 of these early US Navy handguns were produced ca 1808-1810 and remain difficult pistols to acquire for any collection. This would be a fabulous addition to an advanced War of 1812 US Navy collection.
Very good. Barrel with a evenly oxidized medium brown patina, about .125" short of full length. Lock cleaned to bright with a pewter patina and clear markings. Mechanically functional, fair bore, deeply oxidized and pitted. Brass with a nice mustard patina. Stock with some cracks in the forend and one behind the lock. Three deep grooves cut into the stock on the reverse under the belt hook. A solid, original flint example of a rare US martial pistol from the War of 1812 period.Condition
