WATERS SINGLE SHOT “FLAT LOCK” PERCUSSION PISTOL.

SN NSN. This is a nice example of one of the real enigmas of single shot American martial pistols. These guns have features of Model 1836s and of Model 1842s. Norm Flayderman has a special section of Flat Lock pistols in his Guide to American Firearms. There are numerous odd variations and this gun is no different in that it has a mix of brass and iron parts including brass trigger guard, brass escutcheon and most unusual a brass trigger; the remainder of furniture is iron. The bbl is “US” marked and inspected and most of the parts have a cryptic “K” including the bbl, bolster, trigger guard and stock externally. This particular gun has a very heavy, thick, flat hammer and the lock is dated “1849”. Since every one of these Flat Lock pistols is slightly different, for the collector who wants everything you have to buy this one because I am sure there is not another one in identical configuration especially with same assembly marks. PROVENANCE: Collection of Charles A. Lamb. CONDITION: Overall very good. Metal overall smooth with scattered staining and pitting; stock is sound and solid with good edges. 4-50948 JS114 (2,000-3,000) – Lot 2532
