Manufactured by Simeon North in 1819-1823. This is the first U.S. model to use the swivel mounted ramrod, and they were used into the early 1850s. This early "type 1" variation is not dated. It has a rounded brass blade front sight, dished rear sight on the upper tang, "JDJ/P/US" on the left at the breech, "S. NORTH/U [eagle and shield]S/MIDLTN CONN.," an "LS" cartouche (inspector Luther Sage) along with "E.F" and "V" stamps on the left stock flat, "LT" on the left by the toe, and a deep condemnation mark near the vent indicating this pistol was not selected for conversion to percussion and remains in original flintlock configuration.
