The live portion of this session begins on Tuesday, October 4, 2016.
US MODEL 1816 FLINTLOCK PISTOL MADE BY SIMEON NORTH. SIMEON NORTH 1816 F/L NSN 54 Cal. 54. Of the approximately 20,000 Model 1816s manufactured most were converted to percussion. This is a well marked survivor in original flint that shows character. PROVENANCE: The Estate of G. W. "Bill" Stewart of Sonora, Texas. CONDITION: Overall good. Metal is cleaned. Gray/silver overall with moderate to heavy pitting. Proofs on bbl and maker's mark on lock are all discernible, as can be seen in photos. Stock is refinished and heavily worn. There are no discernible cartouches. Stock has numerous scuffs and other blemishes. Top jaw possibly replaced as it has lighter patina, but appears to be an original replacment. Mechanically spring is too weak to make spark and hammer does not hold at half cock. Ramrod is a reproduction. 49973-66 JS (1,000-3,000)
