Brass blade front and groove rear sights, with the upper left side of the barrel marked "US./JH/P", "B" on the left flat, and "US./R. JOHNSON/MIDDn CONN/1842" on the lock, which is fitted with a detachable brass flash pan. A swiveling ramrod is mounted on the underside of the barrel. Smooth stock, with bright furniture and "JH" and "W.A.T" cartouches stamped on the left side behind the reverse plate.

Extremely fine, as-issued. Most of the dark casehardening is showing on the lock, trigger and tang, with an armory bright appearance to the rest of the steel components. Mild spotting is present overall, with scattered handling marks and some pitting around the touchhole and muzzle. The wood is excellent, with some light pressure dents and scratches, a thin crack on the left side running from the breech to the side plate, and sharp cartouches. Mechanically excellent.
