19,374 of these pistols were manufactured by Simeon North c. 1817 to 1820. The lock plate is marked "S. NORTH/U [eagle shield motif] S/MIDLTN CONN." and has an angled brass pan without a fence. The breech end of the barrel on the left is marked "P" and "US". Features a brass blade front sight on the barrel band and partial inspection initial "N" and a small "V" on the left stock flat. Two deep "condemnation" stamps on top of the breech.

Very good with a mix of an old applied brown finish and dark brown patina throughout. Stock is fine with an old outer protective coating showing scattered surface crazing, scattered scratches and dings, and a thin crack on the left ahead of the rear lock screw. Mechanically fine.
