US Model 1836 Cavalry Pistol with Confederate Conversion to Percussion - Inventory Number: CON 540

A flintlock US Model 1836 Flintlock Cavalry Pistol converted by the Confederacy to percussion during the early days of the Civil War. The 1836 was standard issue during the Mexican American War with many seeing later service in the Civil War. They were work-horses and considered to be the finest of all US military flintlock pistols. The conversion was well done and was one of the approximately 450 flintlock cavalry pistols (mostly US Model 1836 and Virginia Manufactory pistols) altered by Thomas J. Adams of Richmond, VA. Records show that Adams converted these for the state of Virginia during the first half of 1862. With two deep cartouches.
