SCARCE CIVIL WAR ERA  ALL METAL  WATERS PERCUSSION
SINGLE SHOT PISTOL, EX BILL LOCKE COLLECTION. Cal. 54, NSN. This exact pistol is pictured on page 259 of the "LOCKE COLLECTION" book. Flayderman states "another enigma for the [martial arms] collector…wide variance in markings… Standard characteristics: 12" overall, 8" round barrel, 2-piece wood bag grips, captured swivel loading assembly with internal assembly marks. This example is devoid of S#, but barrel has eaglehead / "US" / "P". Most saw hard use and poor condition, this is good survivor and once part of one of America's premier collections. CONDITION: very good overall, cleaned bright metal, well fit grips, mechanically functional, clear smooth bore. (01-23810/JS). ANTIQUE. $1,500-2,000.
