Round, plain, smoothbore barrel of 9" and .69 caliber, with "P/US" on left side near breech. Beveled, flat lockplate with rounded tail, brass pan, and rounded, reinforced cock, with worn stamp "S. NORTH / U. (Eagle) S. / MIDDLN. CON’ before cock. Walnut half-stock with iron mountings, including banded nose-cap, and (replacement) wooden ramrod; the belt hook was removed sometime during its historic usage and the hole plugged with wood, as observed on other examples. Only 1,000 of these pistols were contracted with Simeon North and subsequently delivered to the Navy between 1813-1815, making it one of the rarer and more desirable early US marital pistols, especially due to its wartime usage. CONDITION: A well-executed reconversion, the metal parts with good definition, lock in good working order, and wood with only minor dents or marks. JLK
