Authentic William Glaze & Co., Columbia, S.C. Palmetto pistol. Single-shot .54 caliber with an 8.5" barrel. The Palmetto Armory contracted model 1842 pistols for the state of South Carolina and they were delivered by William Glaze in 1853. These were heavily used by the Confederate States throughout the war. The lock markings are distinct and clear showing the Palmetto tree with "PALMETTO ARMORY" above it and "S*C" below. Behind the hammer it is additionally stamped "COLUMBIA / S.C. 1852". The barrel tang date is obscurred. The barrel is stamped on the left side "WM GLAZE & CO." in addition to the barrel proof stamps "P / V / Palmetto tree". The iron overall is an aged dark-grey. The brass components have an untouched light-mustard patina. The wood stock has typical age handling wear, dings and a worn-over petrified irregular 2" section of wood surface loss behind the lockplate from something that hit it during period usage, personally I think this only adds character to the piece. Original swivel ramrod. Mechanics are very good. Here is your opportunity for an original authentic Confederate used pistol that was used and not abused and this one is very good.
