U.S. Model 1836 Percussion Pistol by R. Johnson, 58 Cal percussion pistol, MFG 1860's, SN: 1276, 8 1/2'' barrel, The wood stock has two hairline cracks to left side emanating from the barrel end & a small missing chip on the upper right edge along the side plate. It has a nice finish patina, accented with old brass tacks (one missing on each side). The metal finishes are silver with some speckling & a thin brown patina. Unique fixed pivot fixed & sliding ramrod. It has ''U.S. R. Johnson 1836'' stamped on right side lock. The smooth bore is good, with some roughness. Appears to function well.
The US Model 1836 Pistol was a unique handgun in the history of US martial arms. It was the last of the single-shot martial flintlock pistols to be authorized & contracted for by the US government, &d it was the first contract small arm that appears to have been designed by the contractor, & not based upon a US armory produced sample firearm. The contract was entered into at a very tumultuous time in US military history. The Second Seminole War had erupted in December of 1835 & both the newly authorized 2nd US Dragoons & the many mounted state militia troops that were sent to swamps of Florida to deal with the situation were in need of pistols. The difficulties in making the necessary personal inspection of contract arms during this period have led collectors to note a number of variant US Model 1836 pistols that have only a single inspection cartouche; that of the arsenal sub-inspector, but without the cartouche of the Ordnance Department accepting officer. This example has just a single U.S. marking on right side of side lock. No FFL Req. - Value: 1000 to 2000
