Description:
A really attractive tiger burled flintlock pistol in the late 1700's Kentucky style, in excellent physical condition, with rifled barrel. Pictures speak for themselves. Pretty gun with excellent furniture and wood to metal fit.The maker is indicated by "WGP" initials on lock flat.
I and others smarter than I with whom I have consulted are torn as to whether this is an original period made piece with some later enhancements, or an extremely well made reproduction. I am pricing it for sale as a reproduction which means you either get a good deal or and extraordinary deal.
Cost of shipping by UPS ground is $35 west of the Mississippi in the Continental USA, elsewhere at actual cost, in addition to purchase price.
Please Note: I am just an old guy who collected guns, parts and civil war memorabilia for many years who is liquidating his collection. I do not make my living buying and selling guns. My comments on any particular gun being sold are based on my knowledge as a collector, my examination of the gun, my research, and my comparison with other similar guns. I do not purport to be the second coming of Norm Flayderman, and recognize that there is always something to learn in connection with antique guns (although others I encounter seem to think they know everything). The pictures I post are intended to give you what you need to make a fair assessment of the item being sold. Please study these closely. If you find there is some detail that is unclear, let me know and I will get you that detail if it exists. Finally and most importantly, be clear that the guns I am selling are being sold as collectibles and nothing more. I can tell you from years of competing with the NSSA as a black powder shooter, the shooting of antique guns is an activity that is totally different from modern shooting. The metallurgy of antique barrels and breach plugs can only sustain a certain amount of velocity, and may be impaired after 150 years or so of deterioration or abuse. Assuming a capable gunsmith has pronounced an antique gun safe to fire, only true black powder can be used, and then only in appropriate amounts. People who want to have the historical connection of firing an antique gun without the knowledge, experience or supervision to properly do so can wind up maiming or killing themselves. Please don’t do that.
