.54 caliber. 9" barrel secured by a single double strapped barrel band with Wickham's stud. NSN. Bright finish, iron furniture, smooth walnut stock. Single shot smoothbore muzzleloading flintlock pistol made without a rear sight, with a brass blade front sight, with a wood ramrod with sheet iron jag at the end. Lock with two-line "S. NORTH" cartouche and "MIDLN CON" around a {Spread Winged Eagle}. Lock appears to be in original flint with well fit internal parts although the tumbler is likely replaced as the geometry of the cock at full cock is too far back to be correct. No half cock is present.  Barrel marks are weak and appear to be a an "O" and "A" at the breech with a "US / P" above the touchhole. Counterpane with a "V" over script "OA" for Oliver Allen inspection. {ANTIQUE}

About Very Good. Bore oxidized and dark with some pitting. Metal with a moderately oxidized mostly brown and gray patina, showing some surface roughness and scattered light pitting. Lock with a dark blueish gray patina. Markings mostly legible. Mechanically functional action with no half cock and incorrect cock geometry as noted above. Wood with some wear, showing scattered bumps, dings and mars.
