PAIR OF AMERICAN CHERRY STOCKED KENTUCKY PISTOLS.

SN NSN. This pair of military style pistols with about 62 cal bores in 9″ bbls are almost identical to a pair of guns pictured in Chandler & Whisker’s The Kentucky Pistol identified to a Colonel Cook. Guns are typically American and simplistic made without ramrod thimbles or buttplate. Escutcheon plates are in the English style. Trigger guards have interesting arrow shaped finials, the point of one is held in place by a nail. PROVENANCE: Collection of John Montague. CONDITION: Bbls though very similar have different proofs and different outside diameters though mountings are pretty much the same. Gun one has trigger guard retained by two screws asymmetrically placed possibly an after thought. This gun is a reconversion though lock parts and bbl have a similar overall gray pitted surface. Stock on this gun has a glued repair between trigger guard and lock and there are wood losses at tail. Gun two has smoother metal which is overall mottled brown patina with staining and pitting. Escutcheon plate is replaced. Stock is refinished, there is a cracked repair at wrist. Actions on both guns are sloppy though functional with clear, rusted bores. 4-54356 JS316 (15,000-25,000) – Lot 3371

Auction: Firearms - Fall 2014

Please Note: All prices include the hammer price plus the buyer’s premium, which is paid by the buyer as part of the purchase price. The prices noted here after the auction are considered unofficial and do not become official until after the 46th day.
