Cal. 54. S# 423. Always considered among the most beautiful and aesthetically pleasing of American martial pistols, the 1805 is the logo gun of the American Society of Arms Collectors. These guns were made in pairs between 1806 and 1808 with a total production of about 4,000 guns with each gun of a pair having same serial number. This gun is in the normal configuration of other guns in this pattern with 10" round barrel, breech marked with raised eagle over "P" in a sunken oval behind a raised "US" in a sunken oval behind stamped S# 423. Lock is marked "HARPERS / FERRY / 1807" in vertical arcs behind cock. Under the pan is a spread winged eagle facing toward the cock over "US". The wood opposite the lock is marked with script inspector initials "V" over "CW" (inspector Charles Williams). This a pleasing example from old Massachusetts collection. CONDITION: good to very good overall, good markings, barrel cleaned to bright. Well done reconversion from percussion back to flint, stock has well done crack repair at wrist, hairline forward of trigger guard. All original with exception of battery components from reconversion and new wood ramrod. Mechanics are sound, smooth clear bore. PROVENANCE: White's Auction, Attleboro, Mass, October 6, 2001, lot 212. (01-26599/JS). $5,000-7,000.
