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 Johnson and the lock is excellently marked with good, legible stamps. The lock functions perfectly on both full and half cock.

This piece is dated 1855. The barrel also retains its original proof marks and sub-inspector stamps with minimal salt-and-pepper pitting at the breech. The bore appears to be very shootable and in good condition with minimal rust and pitting.

The captured ramrod is intact and full length. the stock is in good shape with no chips or cracks, 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.
