Attractive Ketland Brass Barreled Flintlock Blunderbuss with Snap Bayonet

Manufacturer: Ketland
Model: Flintlock
Type: Shotgun
Gauge: 28
Barrel: 12 inch round
Finish: bright
Grip:
Stock: walnut
Item Views: 1532
Item Interest: Active
Serial Number:
Catalog Page: 210
Class: Antique
Description:

The lock is signed "KETLAND", and the barrel has a Thomas Ketland "T.K." maker's mark between the "crown/V" and "crown/GP" proofs visible on the upper left side at the breech. The barrel also has scroll engraving at the breech. The gauge is estimated, and the bore flares out to 1 inch at the muzzle. A folding "snap" bayonet is fitted on the barrel and springs into place when the latch on the upper tang is pulled. The lock and brass furniture also have scroll and floral engraving, and the trigger guard has an acorn finial.

Rating Definition:

Very good plus. The barrel and furniture have attractively aged patina and minor wear. The bayonet, upper tang, and lock have gray and brown patina and minor oxidation/pitting. The refinished stock is good and has some repairs around the lock mortise and butt, some small chips and flakes at the upper tang, and a hairline minor crack in the butt. Mechanically fine, including the bayonet mechanism.
