Description:
Antique KENTUCKY FLINTLOCK Pistol in .38 Caliber
With “ATKINSON WARRANTED” Lock
Here we present an antique Flintlock Kentucky Pistol, made circa the early-19th Century. This pistol has a fairly large frame and a heavy barrel. Then as now, rifles and muskets were the primary arm of the day, useful for everything from hunting to combat. Pistols were certainly not as numerous but still very useful for combat since most firearms at this time were limited to a single shot. Imagine if one discharged their single shot firearm only to miss or have another enemy close the distance. A man expecting trouble might carry as many pistols on his person as he could. According to some estimates, Kentucky rifles were made at a ratio of 250:1 over pistols, making these rare and highly coveted.
This one features an “ATKINSON WARRANTED” lock. The Atkinson family of gunmakers were known to have operated out of Parkesburg, Kentucky.
The overall condition is very good. Metal surfaces are dark with age. Markings are clear on the lock. Stock is smooth and solid with a hairline crack on the left side. Bore is in great shape with strong rifling. The action is functional.
