EXTREMELY RARE U.S. NORTH & CHENEY 2ND MODEL FLINTLOCK MARTIAL PISTOL.

EXTREMELY RARE U.S. NORTH & CHENEY 2ND MODEL FLINTLOCK MARTIAL PISTOL. Cal 72. SN 518. There were only a few of these desirable pistols orig made (2000+ or -) and today only a handful are known to exist (less than 29). The examples offered at auction in the past 5-6 years were restored and with replacement parts. This example should be considered a prize by the collector who demands not only rarity but also originality. This example could be properly described as “attic fresh” and “untouched” making it the ultimate to a discerning collector. The North Cheney was the first U.S. contract pistol ever made. It has an 8-15/16″ rnd bbl marked “PV” over “US” perpendicular to the bore. The marking, which curves around the trigger guard on the bottom, is “North & Cheney, Berlin”. The words “North” and “Cheney” are completely visible. The word “Berlin” is incomplete. The gun is properly serial numbered “518” on the bottom of the bbl, on the left side of the breech plug and on the frame recess underneath the bbl. There is also a Roman numeral “VIII” on the bottom of the bbl, the rear of the breech plug, on the grip underneath the backstrap and on the backstrap. CONDITION: Mainspring is broken and missing part of the upper leaf. Ramrod is also missing. Crusty brown rust on all iron pcs. There is a small crack at the muzzle of the bbl. Brass frame has a nut brown patina. Wood has nice old patina with much of the old oil finish and lock has strong marks with minor dents and scratches and some tiny chips around the buttcap. One replacement screw behind trigger. Mechanically needs mainspring, otherwise fine. 4-58129 (50,000-60,000)
