SCARCE “EAGLE” MODEL 1836 US MARTIAL FLINTLOCK PISTOL.

SCARCE “EAGLE” MODEL 1836 US MARTIAL FLINTLOCK PISTOL. SN NSN. Cal. 54. This is the scarcest of all Model 1836 contracts of which little is known. Other than inspector marks, the only distinguishing mark is a circular “folky” looking American eagle and shield which must have denoted the contractor. This scarce gun conforms to every other detail of the Model 1836 with exception of a heart shaped piercing in hammer instead of the standard circle seen on Johnson & Waters contracts. These guns never have cartouches so they must’ve been part of a special state or militia contract. Regardless of the purpose of this contract, this is a nice example which appears orig and complete and still in orig flint. CONDITION: Metal overall is gray/white with scattered areas of staining and pitting. Most parts have a sub-inspectors letter and the eagle stamped on lock is mostly discernible, though weak at top of head and wings as can be seen in photo. Stock is sound and solid, worn at shoulders, and retaining 30-40% orig oiled finish with scattered dings, dents and scratches as can be seen in photos. 4-46710 JS165 (2,000-3,000)

Auction: Firearms - Fall 2012

Please Note: All prices include the hammer price plus the buyer’s premium, which is paid by the buyer as part of the purchase price. The prices noted here after the auction are considered unofficial and do not become official until after the 46th day.
