This has to be one of the finest, original flint, 1811 Army Transition guns in existence.  Only about 300 of these guns were made and the survival rate on all 1811's is very low, probably due to their extensive use in the War of 1812.  If you like these old horse pistols, this one is simply to die for.  It is original flint with the Eagle over U. States forward of the hammer on the lock and S. North over Berlin over Con on the tail of the lock.  The rear of the barrel is marked P over US and there is a P stamped on the barrel tang above the tang screw.  The brasses are unpolished and the gun is not pitted, with a light rust from handling and storage.  The stock is marked, on the left side opposite the lock, V over HHP.  The screws and lock parts, etc. are all marked with a punch dot assembly mark and all appear to be correct.  Don't be too quick to dismiss that shiny wood.  It appears to be the original finish on the stock!  There are numerous details to discuss, so call if you are interested.  Price $19,500.   Price Reduced $17,500.  HOLD!!
