19TH CENTURY LONG BARREL UNIQUE KENTUCKY-TYPE PISTOL.

Cal. 44. 20-1/2″ oct bbl. This unique pistol is stocked in curly maple and has its orig finish with a nice warm color. The pistol is unique for several reasons, one of which is that the iron trigger guard and the iron buttcap with straps are from a mid-18th century European pistol. The rest of the Kentucky style mountings are brass. The brass side plate is typical of Lancaster style. The orig flintlock is by W. Ketland & Co., so it would appear to have been assembled in the 19th century, as the lock is orig to the gun. The two ramrod pipes are typical of those from Pennsylvania fowlers. The stock is full length and uniquely would appear to represent perhaps the longest Kentucky pistol bbl known. Accompanying information indicates this was advertised for sale in the Jackson Arms catalog Feb 1983. PROVENANCE: Collection of Dr. Douglas Sirkin. CONDITION: Very good. There is a 13″ sliver missing from the left side of the forestock; other wise wood is completely intact. The oct bbl appears to be a replacement. As a curiosity this pistol rates near the top. 4-49886 (4,000-7,000) – Lot 3413
