A Scarce Model 1826 Naval U.S. Martial Flintlock Single Shot By W.L. Evans Valley Forge Pennsylvania Dated 1830.
8 and 1/8th inch round barrel. .54 caliber. Identical to the 1826 Naval flintlock pistols by Simeon North. The barrel struck at the breech with “US”, “P”, and “LS”. Captive ramrod. The lock stamped “W.L. EVANS” and “US” dated at tail 1830. The lock expertly reconverted to flintlock as is common with this scarce model.
Walnut stock with original short steel belt hook. Steel furniture of standard pattern. Barrel condition is good with very light pitting. Lock with light pitting and wear to stampings. Walnut stock with wear throughout and no visible cartouche but no splits or cracks. The action functions with both half and full cock. The bore is good.
Altogether an acceptable example of this scarce U.S. naval flintlock pistol with a total production of “1000 or less” according to Flayderman.
