This very attractive pair of miniature "Kentucky" style flintlock pistols was handmade by Stan Blashak in highly detailed 1/3 scale. Like the full size pistols they're based on, as well as the American long rifles they often accompanied, these miniatures have very nicely carved maple stocks. The multi-stage barrels and functioning locks are bright and the remaining furniture is nicely engraved silver. Includes a hardwood case with interior fitted for the pistols and the included miniature ball mold, powder flask, turnscrew, and pan brush. Provenance: The Cranford Dalby Collection

Excellent overall with the barrel and lock almost entirely bright, silver with an attractively lightly aged patina, and very minimal handling evidence overall. Case and accessories are also excellent.
