Adopted in 1836, the production of the Model 1836 continued until 1844, and the flintlock pistol intended for Cavalry was widely used in the Mexican/American War. A total of almost 41,000 units were produced before being replaced by the M-1842 Percussion pistol, which featured a different barrel and lock, but retained the other design characteristics

However, during the changeover period there were leftover components of the Model 1836 in various stages of completion. Asa H. Waters of Milbury, Massachusetts, used these components to make transitional models, which featured flat lock plates, not the rounded version used on the 1836 nor the beveled edge version of the model 1842. These are therefore referred to by collectors as "Flatlock Waters" pistols, and they displayed significant variations in construction style. This one has been stamped U.S. twice on the side plate and has the unmistakable flat lock plate.

This example has a "barrel" shaped cap nipple cone bolster on the right side of the barrel, with a flat lockplate that is inlet in the top for the bolster. There is no brass component or any others signs that the lock was converted from a flintlock. It comes complete with its "trapped" swivel Ram Rod for easier use by mounted cavalry troops when reloading. The pistol measures 14" overall, with a smooth bore barrel of 8 1/2", which is marked JCS P on the breech.

This pistol, unlike many examples we see, has a brass side plate, trigger guard, and trigger, while the rest of the fittings are all steel. It retains the correct brass blade fore sight, and is in nice condition overall. The lock functions correctly, though it does not have any provision for a half cock position.

The stock is in very good condition, with the expected wear from service.

Nice shirt!
Color: Black, Size: Large
When I lost weight and hit my goal I wanted to purchase new clothing. I discovered Coofandy on Amazon and could not be happier. This line of clothing is great. I have purchased a handful of shirts and shorts and liked all of them. This shirt fits well, I tried a medium initially and it was a bit too small so I moved up to a Large. Prior to my weight loss I was always an X-large. Shirt looks nice and fits great. I have this shirt in 3 colors now.

Great shirt, a bit large in arms
Color: A - Moon Gray, Size: Medium
I really like the cut and texture of the shirt. The only thing I would say is it is loose in the arms unless you’re a body builder. My arms are toned, muscular, but more lean than thick, so if you like a snug sleeve this is probably not for you. I’m 5’9” 180bs for reference and wear a medium.

Check the size chart and reviews!
Color: Black, Size: 3X-Large, Color: Black, Size: 3X-Large
Bought this for my husband and if i didnt check the reviews I would ordered it too small. He normally wears a XL in T-shirts but he has very large arms so the 3XL in this fits him comfortably. The material is a bit stretchy so he could have probably taken the 2XL but I am satisfied with how the 3XL looks on him. He looks so good!

Size discrepancy
Color: Wine Red, Size: Small
I like the look and feel of this shirt, but I originally bought a medium and it was too big, so I bought a small. Both shirts are the exact same size. It is labeled on the collar as a different size, but it's the same. If anything the small is slightly larger
