R. Johnson made this U.S. Model 1836 flintlock pistol in .54 caliber, and the lock plate carries an 1839 date with two cartouches present. It is listed used as antique handgun SKU AH6665 in overall good condition. The metal has a gray patina with surface oxidation, the action functions correctly with a tight lock-up, and the wood is good apart from a crack on the left side above the side plate screw.

This is a straightforward martial flintlock for a Delaware collector: dated lock, two cartouches and a tight action are the strengths, and the stock crack is disclosed so you know exactly what you are buying. Handgun transfers here go through a licensed dealer; the buyer shows the state purchaser permit or a current Delaware carry license along with photo ID, then completes Form 4473 and the background check. The permit application is decided within 30 days of being complete.
