MODEL 1808 SIMEON NORTH MARTIAL FLINTLOCK PISTOL.

SN 303. Simeon North had contract between 1808 and 1810 for 3,000 pistols for the US Navy. This gun conforms to configurations of that gun, though it is lacking a belt hook. 64 cal bbl measures just over 10″, brass mounted with wood ramrod. The lock is marked forward of hammer with a drooped wing eagle above “U.STATES”. Tail of hammer is stamped vertically “S. NORTH/BERLIN/CON.” Bbl is unmarked though internally the breech is numbered “303” and there are several Roman numerals including “IX” which is also found internally inside lock mortise and the SN and other Roman numeral is found stamped in mortise for the especially long bbl tang. This is a scarce gun not often found in orig flint. PROVENANCE: Collection of Charles A. Lamb. CONDITION: The bbl is cleaned fairly bright and there are tool marks noted around touch hole where it is also polished bright and reconversion is possible though no discernible weld is visible. The lock parts appear orig though brass pan is not particularly well fit though the internal screw that attaches it has same cryptic assembly marking as other parts. There are several glued repairs to cracks in forestock; otherwise stock appears complete and intact. There are no discernible proofs on stock which is sound and solid other than the noted glued repairs. 4-50936 JS140 (5,500-8,500) – Lot 3305
