This is a very cool looking old military pistol. This is the U.S. model 1816 flintlock pistol. It was made by the firm of Simeon, North of Middletown, Connecticut. You can still see a good bit of the maker's mark on the lockplate along with the eagle and "US" mark. The barrel is .54 in caliber size and is full-length at 9-1/4th inches. According to Flayderman's guide, they only made these for three years from 1817 until 1820. During that time, they only made 19,374 of them. This one has a great ancient tone all over. This one was later converted to the percussion system so it could still be used. In more modern times it has been "Reconverted" back to the flintlock configuration. People do this so it will look as it did when it left the factory. The mechanics still catch on both of the positions just as it should. At the breech of the barrel it has the "US" stamping to go along with the "P" marking showing that it was approved for military use. The stock of the gun has a very attractive look to the American walnut. On the flat of the stock, opposite of the lockplate, it has the "LS" inspector initials. These are the initials of the inspector, Luther Sage. It has a nice original wooden ramrod in the channel underneath the barrel. This is a nice original model 1816 United States Military flintlock pistol by Simeon North.
