19,374 of these pistols were manufactured by Simeon North c. 1817 to 1820. The lock plate is marked "S. NORTH/U [eagle shield motif]S/MIDLTN CONN." and has an angled brass pan without a fence. The breech end of the barrel on the left is marked "P" and "US". The pistol also features a brass blade front sight on the barrel band, and "V" over an oval "LS" cartouche on the left stock flat.

Fine with traces of original brown finish, mostly dark brown patina, some patches of gray patina, deep aged patina on the brass, and mild oxidation and pitting. The stock is also fine and has distinct markings, minor dings and scratches, light edge wear, and a faint repaired tension crack on the left at the breech. Mechanically excellent.
