Item Details
Description
Waters made about 20,000 of these pistols from 1837 to 1843. This one shows very good inspector cartouches on the side flat and has a clear lock stamp: [eagle head] / A. WATERS / MILBURY=. MS/ 1839, along with US / JH / P barrel proofs on the left breech, and barrel inspector mark H on the left flat. Swivel ramrod assembly is in place. The metal is smooth and in the bright. The wood has a tight fit to the metal, warm brown tone, good edges, good surface, and the inspector cartouches are quite visible. These were robust and popular .54 caliber pistols. This one was converted to percussion using a drum and bolster and a military style hammer indicating it was likely done for a state militia unit. They saw wide usage in early war southern units and even late war use by some of the more rear echelon outfits. This is a nice looking US martial single shot pistol and has a good pre-Mexican War date.

$25.00 for materials, packing, and shipping. Insurance is $1.50 per $100. US POSTAL SERVICE signature required service is $3.00 UPS signature service is $6.50 -- NO SHIPMENTS OUTSIDE USA --
