Item Description
Original Item: Only One Available. Specifically produced in England for the North American Fur Trade, this is a Flintlock Trade pistol intended for the use of the Trappers and the Native American population as well. This example is marked H. YOUNG & CO on the lock, with NEW YORK on the top of the brass barrel. From what we can find out, Mr. Young was an importer in New York operating with that company name from 1820-1830.
The brass barrel has British Birmingham proof marks, the usual CROWN over "Crossed Scepters" originally used by Ketland. The lock is typical of the early 19th century private market, with a bridled frizzen as well as a roller on the frizzen spring. The pistol has all brass mounts, and still includes the original wooden ramrod. The lock and barrel tang have some simple engravings, and the lock functions correctly, holding at half cock and firing at full.
These pistols were widely distributed to the Native American populations in both the United States and Canada during the early years of the 1800's. The thick walled brass barrel measures 8 1/2" and is about .63 bore, and the pistol is 14 1/4 in overall length. In nice display condition just what one would have expected to see on the North American frontier.
Perfect for any Early American collection! Ready to display!
