Correction to printed catalog: Serial should read 1087 (not 1081).

U.S. MODEL 1805 HARPERS FERRY PISTOL. SN 1081. Cal. 54. 10″ rnd bbl, breech marked with raised eagle over “P” in a sunken oval behind a raised “US” in a sunken oval behind serial no. 1081. Lock is marked “HARPERS/FERRY/1807” in vertical arcs behind cock. Under the pan is a spread-winged eagle facing toward the cock over “US”. The lock is orig flint, however, the cock has been replaced. Lock is marked “VI”, inside of lockplate as well as marked “8 WV”; underside of bbl and stock under sideplate marked “XX”. Sideplates also marked with “XX”. The wood opposite the lock shows the shadow of the inspector’s mark “JS” (James Stubblefield), however, it is illegible. This is a very nice example of an orig flint Harper’s Ferry pistol, as they are becoming difficult to obtain. CONDITION: Overall metal is in very good plus condition showing no evidence of cleaning. Wood is in overall fine condition with just a small 1-1/4″ long chip below the lock but not detracting from the gun’s overall soundness or condition. While the ramrod may not be orig to this gun, it has certainly been in the gun during its working life. 4-38840 PAS6 (12,500-17,500)
