What’s Included
- CVA Hawken .50 caliber percussion pistol
The 9.75-inch blued carbon-steel barrel is octagonal and rifled, providing the traditional look and accuracy expected from a Hawken-style sidearm.
A color case-hardened percussion lock bears factory scroll engraving, adding visual appeal while preserving historical aesthetics. The single, curved trigger offers a straightforward, no-nonsense pull.
Brass furniture—trigger guard, nose cap, butt cap, and ramrod thimble—contrasts with the deep blue finish and the varnished hardwood half-stock, enhancing both durability and period-correct styling.
Iron sights consist of a dovetailed blade front and a drift-adjustable elevator-leaf rear, allowing practical elevation and windage corrections without modern additions.
Stamped MADE IN SPAIN, this CVA import was last cataloged in 2004, making surviving examples increasingly scarce for shooters who appreciate traditional percussion handguns.
