Armas Antiguas has 1842 Aston Pistols

[Stantheman86]

This looks neat, it's in. 58 Smoothbore. I emailed Osvaldo Gatto for a price.

This would be fun with .530 balls and paper cartridges, maybe 40 gr charges. I can shoot at paper bad guys at 20 yards at my gun club.

I'm digging the brass barrel blunderbusses! Guess I'd better start saving my money...

 

[Stantheman86]

I know the price is gonna be cringey

 

[DaveC]

Mostly shipping, I'd expect. Rosario Argentina is a good ways south...! Who knows? Maybe they'll get together with Bersa or whoever and do some distribution in North America?

 

[Stantheman86]

He never got back to me with a price , or it got filtered out as "junk" ....

Are you trying to contact him on Facebook?
He has more than one Facebook page.
Look up Osvaldo Reynaldo Gatto if you're on Facebook and the page can be automatically translated.
He seems to post there quite often.

Yuck.

Originals can be had for around $700 in shooting condition.

Also, his finish is not correct!! The Aston ‘42s were never blued or case hardened!!

 

[Stantheman86]

It's also a .58.....the Pedersoli Harper's Ferry .54 Percussion pistol is looking like a better option plus I can make cartridges with. 490 round balls.

I just wish he'd put his prices on the website instead of making me work to find out about his products

I had also liked those Enfield pistols and the Lorenz pistol.

Hello Dear Members!!
The picture on the Website be taked 20 years ago. In that opportunity we are copied an antique Belgium pistol... For that reason we are presented our replica like "Aston Model"... And Not USH Aston.
But some years ago we are purchased an Original USH Aston pistol and we are upgraded our pistol on 54 Cal and other details... Unfortunately, the work on the workshop and the web maintains is not a compatible work... But we hope take time soon to upgrade our site some time. Thanks for your interest in our products!
Here share with you a picture of our Original 1841 Aston Pistol.

Greetings from Rosario, Argentina!

If this is now in .54 I'll hold off on getting the Harper's Ferry .54 pistol.
