Produced circa 1830-1831, this is one of less than 1000 Model 1826 Navy Flintlock Pistols produced by W.L. Evans of Valley Forge, PA. Brass blade front sight and oval groove rear sight, with "LS US/P" in the breech area. The lock is stamped with an eagle head facing the hammer above "W.L. EVANS/V. FORGE" in two lines, and the rear of the lock plate is marked vertically "1831/ USN". Smooth stock, with a swiveling ramrod, single barrel band, belt hook, "C1/ P" and "C:Z" stamps on the left side and an iron buttcap.

Very good, with a bright appearance to all the metal parts, with mild pitting around the flash hole and scattered light handling marks and spotting. The stock is also very good, with some cracks extending from the upper side plate screw and scattered scratches and pressure dents. Theres is a "B" varnished on the bottom. Mechanically excellent.
