SMALL SOUTHERN IRON MOUNTED KENTUCKY PISTOL.

SN NSN. 40 cal. 9″ overall. 5″ oct to rnd iron smooth bore unmarked bbl. This pistol is all iron mounted with exception of its 3/4″ brass nosecap. The flintlock is 4-1/2″ long and unmarked. This pistol is very unusual in that the iron bbl tang extends off the bbl, around the back of the pistol grip extending down to form the buttcap. The iron sideplate is of military style and the iron trigger guard appears to be hand forged. This writer’s opinion is this may be a Tennessee made pistol. PROVENANCE: Collection of John Montague. CONDITION: Good. The forward lock screw is missing, and the flintlock mechanism needs adjustment. There is some wood missing between the lock and the bbl tang. The gun is generally in nice, as-found condition throughout. 4-54384 RG36 (5,000-7,000) – Lot 3406
