BRACE of Early 1800s Antique T. KETLAND & Co. .41 FLINTLOCK Pocket Pistols
Pair of WAR of 1812 Era BRITISH PROOFED Flintlocks
Here we present a Brace of antique T. Ketland & Co. marked Flintlock Pistols, made circa the late 1700s to the early 1800s in turn of the century England. Thomas Ketland & Co. was a firearms manufacturer founded in Birmingham, England somewhere around 1760. Thomas Ketland Sr. was a highly successful Birmingham gunmaker. He started his business around 1760 and expanded into the export market around 1790. He died in 1816. The business carried on until bankruptcy in 1821. The company manufactured flintlock pistols, becoming quite successful in its field.
John and Thomas Ketland were the sons of Thomas Ketland and grandsons of William Ketland, who had been making locks and guns for the colonies since the early 18th Century. The lock plates are marked “T./KETLAND/&Co” and the barrels are British proofed. The barrel, trigger, lock, barrel tang, hammer, frizzen, pan and spring are all iron with a brass trigger guard and trim.
These pistols could possibly have belonged to a military officer during this period. The barrels are round with beautiful half-length walnut stocks, and the engravings on the brass are reserved yet handsome.
The overall conditions are very good. Strong action. The bores are smooth and in very good shape for their ages. Solid wood with minimal handling evidence. Markings are legible. Original flintlock. Here is a great flintlock pistol set from the late 1700s to the early 1800s!

Barrels are 2-1/2 inches.
Calibers are both .41 Flintlock
