Hi guys... I have a completely customized Kentuckian Flintlock pistol. It says Kentuckian on the octagonal barrel, as well as Armisport Italy Black powder only Cal .45. It has a brass front sight blade with steel back sights. The handle has been replaced with a solid brass one, lots of brass trim has been added. It has a brass belt clip, sliding bayonet, a crown inlaid into the bottom and a Cameo on top.
I have not been able to identify who did the customization and I was wondering if anyone knows anything about it. It is such a radical and complete customization, I'm hoping that the work will be recognized. http://www.boomspeed.com/guyver/Philip/pix1126211750.jpg http://www.boomspeed.com/guyver/Philip/pix1126211796.jpg http://www.boomspeed.com/guyver/Philip/pix1126211937.jpg http://www.boomspeed.com/guyver/Philip/pix1126212046.jpg http://www.boomspeed.com/guyver/Philip/pix1126212109.jpg http://www.boomspeed.com/guyver/Philip/pix1126212187.jpg http://www.boomspeed.com/guyver/Philip/pix1126212234.jpg |

Well, it has found a place on my wall.
http://www.boomspeed.com/guyver/Philip/Pistol2.jpg It strikes me as the kind of pistol royalty would own back in the day. The beauty of it, and the sweat of the gunsmith who created it, has not beem lost on me. I guess I'm just sentimental that way. 
Anyway... I'd like to find the guy that did it and say "nice work" one day |
