FINE SOUTHERN KENTUCKY PISTOL.

SN NSN. 42 Cal. 8-1/2″ 3-stage bbl starting semi-oct to semi-hexadecagonal (16-sided) to rnd. This unknown gunsmith really showed off his skill in this multi-phase bbl and 7-1/2″ tang that terminates into brass buttcap we have not seen on gun before. Gun has typical Southern features being brass mounted lacking main ramrod pipe, simplistic 1-pc trigger guard nailed instead of screwed. Iron trigger plate is also nailed. This classic Southern flint Kentucky pistol typifies typical Southern “po-boy” but fancy bbl and lock with beveled pan and frizzen show a master’s hand. This gun mounted on maple stock appears “as found” with honest use but was well cared for. This distinctive pistol was a favorite of our consignors from his wonderful collection of Southern pistols. PROVENANCE: Collection of John Montague. CONDITION: Very good to fine overall. Bbl retains traces of orig brown finish though overall brown/plum. Lock is mostly smooth and gray. Components have matching patina to bbl and adjacent areas of lock. Hammer appears smoother than rest of lock but has close matching patina and could be possibly replaced. Top jaw in screw appear to be replacements. Remainder of gun appears orig. Stock is sound and solid with good edges with scattered small blemishes. 4-54355 JS312 (10,000-15,000) – Lot 3379
