One of only around 400 produced by the Springfield Armory in the Type I style. Brass blade sight, with "1818" on top of the breech area and "P/ eagle head/ V" offset to the left. The lock plate features the distinctive long goose-neck hammer, "teat" projection at the rear of the plate, spear point spring and curled frizzen toe, with "eagle/ US" ahead of the hammer and "SPRING/ FIELD/ 1818" vertically to the rear. The trigger guard is stamped "AR" on the inside, and "EA" ahead of the trigger. Smooth stock, with a wooden ramrod, split single barrel band, a pair of oval cartouches on the left side and a steel backstrap and grip cap.

Fine as professionally reconverted to flintlock configuration, with some mild spotting on the bright steel, along with some pitting concentrated around the flashpan, barrel band and muzzle. Stock is also fine, with some chipping and dents near the hammer and light handling marks overall. Cartouches are both fine. Mechanically excellent.
