Unusual U.S. Model 1816 with Arabic Lock (AH5939)
With the exception of the lock, this flintlock pistol appears to be an original U.S. Model 1816 pistol made by Simeon North. The overall length is approx. 15". The 9" round 54 caliber smooth bore barrel has a fair dark bore with some roughness. The barrel is marked P over US at the breech. It shows evidence of reconversion. All the metal has an even brown patina. The lock is slightly shorter...
