- Lot Description
A very nice Aston single shot martial pistol as used in the Mexican – American and Civil Wars. The gun is clean and extremely well marked, with clear and strong oval cartouches on the wood, and small stamps on the brass mounts, as well as good sharp marks on the lockplate. Dimensions: the gun is 15 inches long overall, with the barrel being 8.675 inches. Processing and shipping in the continental U.S. $32.00 plus 1.5% replacement cost insurance.
Very good, with an excellent stock. There is a little bit of pitting on the bolster and the hammer, as well as the vent, but the brass is excellent, and the steel parts are clean and nice. The cartouches are excellent, with the WAT in one being clear and sharp, and the other nearly as clear. Function is excellent with a very strong main spring. Witherell's strives to provide as much information and photographs as possible but encourages in-person inspection by bidders.
