RARE 2ND MODEL VIRGINIA MANUFACTORY FLINTLOCK PISTOL.

SN 7777. Cal 54 smooth bore. Patterned after the model 1805 Harpers Ferry pistol, these fine pistols have 10″ rnd bbl with iron underrib and attached swivel rammer. Ramrod on this pistol is a replacement as the button head will not fit the bore. Mounted in a 1-pc walnut stock, secured with single key through the forestock and mounted with brass furniture, including the Harpers Ferry Model 1805-style brass band at tip of forestock. It has orig lockplate marked “VIRGINIA” ahead of the cock with “RICHMOND / 1812” in an ark behind the cock. Cock is reinforced with an orig equipment replacement top jaw and screw. It has a bridles frizzen without roller, mainspring is marked with the assembly number “///” and “VII”. Matching assembly numbers are also on the lockplate screws with the number “7777” inside trigger bow. No further disassembly was affected to check for other matching numbers. According to Flayderman’s Guide to Antique American Firearms there were only 4,252 of these pistols produced in the period 1812-1815 of which only about 386 were made in 1812. Given the date of this pistol it almost certainly would have seen service in the War of 1812. Finding one of these pistols today is an extreme rarity. CONDITION: Very good to fine, all matching, as noted above. Bbl is a cleaned gray metal patina with fine pitting, heavier around pan area. Hammer and lockplate are matching patina with fine pitting and forging lines. Stock has a fine crack by the front lockplate screw and is missing a couple small chips, otherwise is sound showing moderate to heavy wear. Brass is a dark coffee colored patina. Mechanics are fine. Lightly pitted bore. 4-53685 JR288 (7,500-12,500) – Lot 3304
