SAMUEL MILLER KENTUCKY PISTOL.

58 Cal. 8″ oct to rnd bbl with flared muzzle. This very pleasing pistol is signed in script by “S. MILLER” in script on the English brass bbl, marked to Thomas Ketland (TK). The curly maple stock has a light amber-colored finish which is indicative of orig finish. In lieu of a forestock molding, S. Miller used a simple incised line with a serpentine terminal. In addition, he added two silver tear drop inlays to the upper portion of the grip. Basically, Miller used re-cycled parts from a British “export” pistol which includes all of the metal parts, except for the brass nose-cap and the silver inlays. Simon Miller worked in the area of Hamburg, Berks City, PA, circa 1810-1830s. PROVENANCE: Collection of John Montague. CONDITION: The Ketland & Co. flintlock is orig and the curly maple stock has a warm mellow surface. 4-54378 SDH31 (8,000-12,000) – Lot 3391
