EXCELLENT RELIEF CARVED FLINTLOCK KENTUCKY PISTOL WITH RED VIOLIN FINISH.UNKNOWNKENTUCKY PISTOLNSN.36Cal. .36. Overall length 12", 6-7/8" full oct unsigned smooth bbl. This pistol has a very nice curly maple stock with red violin finish. The stock shows beaver tail relief carving around the bbl tang. The brass furniture and buttcap are not engraved and the pistol has a heavy brass side plate which may help identify its maker. Side plates are very often characteristic in style to a school or a maker so locating a rifle with the identical side plate could normally be assumed to be the same maker of the pistol. The flint lock is marked Ketland & Co. This is a very attractive classic style Kentucky pistol in good condition. CONDITION: Pistol is in very nice condition throughout. 49254-46 RGG (5,000-8,000)
