Probably circa 1800-1810, this American pistol features a round smoothbore steel barrel with view and proof marks on the left side of the breech. Rounded unmarked lockplate has been converted to percussion. Plain brass furniture. Plain walnut stock with wooden ramrod. Fair "as found" condition, steel components retain a dark patina, brass is unpolished and retains a dark patina. One lock retaining screw is absent and stock has some losses and old repairs. Probably a militia officer's pistol.
