18TH CENTURY KENTUCKY STYLE MAPLE STOCKED FLINTLOCK PISTOL.

SN NSN. 68 Cal. 12-1/2″ overall. 7-1/4″ smooth bore unmarked iron bbl. Imported brass furniture on this pistol is very similar to that used by Halbach & Son in Baltimore, MD. This is characteristic of pistols made in the late 18th century that were made in this country using imported English parts. Hand forged German style lock is 4-1/2″ in length. There are traces of an orig red violin pistol suggesting it may have been made in north-east PA. Kentucky pistols of this period are generally extremely hard to place as to school or maker unless they have some characteristic feature that can be traced to a known Kentucky rifle maker. This remains as a very fine example of an early pistol that cannot as yet be identified as to its school of manufacture. PROVENANCE: Collection of John Montague. CONDITION: Very good. 4-54375 RG31 (6,000-8,000) – Lot 3397

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.
