I bought a new gun, sort of. Pre-Civil war guns.

Found in a garage cleanup I was asked to identify this pistol. I bought it off the guy just because. Needs some work but I believe it could be fired, not that I will. Missing the ramrod.

Simeon North Model 1819 flintlock converted to percussion. Dated 1822. North made 20,400 on contract for the Army and Navy. Loosely based on the Harpers Ferry pistol.

I would have to shoot it...after being checked, of course.... and fixed up a bit, Imagine the hands it's been in!

Nice! It would have looked like this when it started out.
