Time of US Presidents James Monroe, John Quincy Adams and Andrew Jackson. US
M1819 .54 caliber flintlock pistol. Incredible piece! Metal generally smooth and
brown with just some very light pitting at the breech. Good lock and breech
markings, dated 1822. Although the hammer is possibly a correct replacement the
gun remains in its original flintlock configuration. Sliding safety functions
fine but the gun will not hold at full cock, which could be easily repaired. The
stock, while generally very good, exhibits a few problems. A 1" piece split
out behind the band following the ramrod channel, and three places where wood
filler was used to affect a repair. AR-YAK. #52372: $4500
