Description

Here's a great example of America's last Single Shot Cavalry Pistol. The m1842 Cavalry pistol was the last standard issue single shot pistol issued to the US Cavalry before it was officially replaced with Colt's Patent Revolving Pistols in the late 1840's. These '42 martial pistols were made by two contractors: Aston and Johnson. This particular specimen is all original and was built by Aston and the lock is excellently marked with good, legible stamps. The lock functions perfectly on both full and half cock.

This piece is dated 1847. The barrel also retains all of its original proof marks and sub-inspector stamps and there is almost no pitting anywhere. The bore appears to be very shootable and in good condition with no major rust or pitting.

The captured ramrod is original and full length. the stock is in good shape with two legible cartouches and nice crisp edges; indicating the piece was never sanded or refinished.

This .54 caliber hand-cannon would be a great shooter or collector's piece.
