Original U.S. "Flatlock Waters" Percussion Cavalry Pistol by Asa Waters - Circa 1845Adopted 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.

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.

Just what I needed.
Size: 6 Pack
A little on the pricey side, but really sturdy and well made. I needed an odd size set of brackets to fit a shelf in an awkward spot. I wasn't sure I'd find brackets with arms long enough for my needs without using some ugly white hardware-store shelf brackets. These look great, are very heavy duty, and just what I needed. I debated the purchase because of their initial cost, but once I got them I realized their quality warranted the premium price. Overall I'm very happy with them.

Worked Perfectly
Size: 4 Pack
They worked perfectly, I use them to hold a hutch inside a trailer to keep it from moving since it was not gonna be mounted against the wall. I use three of the four of these from the frame of the roof for the trailer down to the top of the hutch and they worked excellent

I recently purchased the ZHEM Valet Tray for Men in Dark Gray, and I couldn't be happier with this product. It's become an indispensable part of my daily routine and home décor. The design and craftsmanship of this tray are outstanding. The dark gray color is elegant and complements my furniture perfectly. It's not just a valet tray; it's also a decorative piece that adds a touch of sophistication to my nightstand and dresser. The size (8x8x1.75 inches) is ideal for holding my daily essentials like my watch, perfume, keys, and even napkins. I appreciate the versatility - it serves as a decorative piece, an organizer, and a functional tray all in one! The quality is top-notch, and it feels sturdy and well-made. It's also easy to clean, which is a big plus. Overall, the Tray has exceeded my expectations. It's a stylish and functional addition to my décor, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a versatile and attractive tray for their home. Five stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
