Item Description: Translate description
.45 cal, 10 1/8'' octagon barrel with a moderately oxidized bore. This is an attractive period ''Kentucky'' pistol, no doubt made in Pennsylvania as so many guns of this classic style were, the only apparent markings being neatly inscribed initials along the top barrel flat ''JD''. The arm was neatly reconverted to flint utilizing antique lock components, the plate being unmarked, and the metal surfaces are mostly a deep gray-brown patina with richer plum-brown along the barrel and scattered old oxidation. The lockplate is a bit crude and equipped with a bridled frizzen and the barrel shows some light simple zigzag embellishments along the top flat and concentric circles at muzzle face. Brass hardware consists of a multi-faceted ramrod thimble and tailpipe, simple triggerguard, large teardrop buttcap and nice decorative lock screw escutcheons that show some more zigzag bordering. The brass is a pleasant ocher patina and the stock is further enhanced with three silver inlays along each side and silver plate atop the wrist all taking on a fine tarnish. The maple stock rates very good showing a competently repaired break at the grip, some erosion above the lockplate and otherwise just some overall light dings and handling marks. Aside from the repair the stock maintains a fine honest appearance with attractive grain throughout. A plain hickory ramrod is present and the pistol is sighted with a very fine u-notch rear sight and brass blade front. The lock will require mechanical attention as it is stiff and does not hold reliably. A very nice American pistol for the antique arms collector. (13C11896-164) {ANTIQUE} (1800/2200)
