A super high condition Mexican War & Seminole Wars Era Model 1836 US Military Flintlock Pistol manufactured by Robert Johnson of Middleton Connecticut. This one is dated 1841 on lock plate. The pistol has a brass front sight blade, dished rear sight, swivel ramrod with button head and iron mountings; brass pan. The lock is marked “U.S. / R. JOHNSON / MIDDN CONN / 1841”. This example remains in extraordinarily fine original condition with crisp shoulders, cartouche, and excellent wood overall. The touch hole has no signs of use at all. This is an extremely attractive US Model 1836 pistol (Flayderman 6A-034) that is in VERY FINE+untouched overall condition. The gun is an 1841 dated example by Johnson and bears a pair of inspection cartouches on the stock flat. The sub-inspector’s mark is the script JH of Joseph Hannis with a script cartouche W.A.T. to the rear of the flat. Both cartouches are nearly mint and deeply and clearly struck. The pistol is in extremely crisp and remains in its original flintlock configuration. This is quite uncommon with these pistols, as the majority of these guns ended up being altered to percussion between the mid-1850s and the beginning of the Civil War. This US Model 1836 Johnson contract pistol is marked on the lock in four lines forward of the hammer. A fine US martial pistol not often encountered in this condition.
