Scarce and Historic U.S. North Model 1813 Flintlock Army Pistol

This Model 1813 flintlock pistol was manufactured by Simeon North in Middletown, Connecticut. North manufactured 1,626 Model 1813 pistols between 1813 and 1815. The Army received 626 pistols without the belt hooks. The contract for the Model 1813 flintlock pistols were the first in which the gun maker agreed to provide weapons with interchangeable parts. The pistol has a round, smoothbore barrel with octagonal breech, double strap, and "Wickham Improvement" barrel band. The lock has a beveled front and rounded rear with reinforced hammer, detachable brass flash pan has no fence, and the frizzen has a flat toe. The frizzen spring has a bulbous tip. The pistol side plate, trigger guard, back strap and buttcap are iron. The hickory ramrod has a swelled tip with slotted and threaded iron ferrule. The stock is black walnut. The lock plate is marked: "S. NORTH" in a downward curve over an Eagle motif flanked by "U" and "S". "MIDLN. CON" is stamped in an upward curve below the eagle. The initials of inspector Henry H. Perkin (HHP) are stamped on the right breech flat above the flash hole. The left breech flat is stamped with a "P/US" proofmark. An Ordnance inspection mark that consists of a "V" stamped above the script letters "LS" with an oval border is stamped on the left stock flat.

ConditionVery good. The pistol barrel has a mottled, silver gray patina on the barrel and barrel band. The lock, side plate, trigger guard, back strap and buttcap have a brown patina. The barrel band, side plate, trigger guard, back strap and buttcap have moderate pitting. The barrel has been lightly cleaned and has scattered spots of age discoloration with light to moderate pitting. The lock has a smooth dark patina. The left barrel flat and lock markings are light but legible. The markings on the right side of the barrel are sharp. The stock is fine with minor pressure marks and dings. The inspection marks on the left stock flat are clear. This is a solid example of a rare and historic U.S. primary martial pistol produced in limited numbers during the War of 1812.
