Description:
<<<SOLD>>>Trade muskets were always smooth bore as this Ketland marked muslket is as a .60 caliber or 20ga. The 43" long octagonal/round barrel has a decent bore with most of it clean and clear, except about 6 inches from the muzzle it's gotten surface corrosion and l moderate surface patches from long term storage rather  than black powder use. Comes with a very small, fine bead sight, and the lock works well. The engraved nose of the hammer for trade business has a long throw, and there is no half cock which I've seen on some trade muskets. The American walnut stock is good with some age dings, very fine dry cracks and possibly small repairs through time, Barrel has three British proofs and the top of the wrist area has a brass ovel escheceon  like a Brown Bess. The fancy brass trigger guard has the 18th century flintlock era acorn finial. Furniture is all brass and has a vintage hard wood ram-rod. Overall complete and good example of early 19th century Native American trade musket.When buying a gun always have it examined by a competent gunsmith  before  shooting. To buy a gun from me you must get a direct email for me, with details, and shipping cost.   We don’t have a web  site .I prefer money orders or a check.  Item ships when funds come in. I try to keep guns  affordable, which means I make less money than most dealers. You won’t get altitude sickness, or nose bleed, with my prices! I consistently have the best selection of  older guns If you attempt to buy,  you must still contact us for details . Best to email to buy. Sometimes a local person can stop buy and purchase before the gun is removed.  Sometimes not home to get calls. Some guns are required shipment to a gun dealer near you for a transfer to you when it arrives. Otherwise many older or black powder guns ship to your door. With the widest selection of older guns at great prices, We don’t have a store, and sell on the internet only.  I’m easy to get along with. Thank You
