Kentucky pistol kit gun from the 1970's.
Pretty sure it was made in Spain for Dixie.
I could be wrong, but I doubt it.
Spiffy find.
Did you get a chance to shoot yet?

a .433 ball with a .010 patch should work, I had one that looked just like yours for a short amount of time and it really liked the .433 RB
I kinda wish I hadn't sold my Kentucky pistol. It was a nice pistol.

It is a circa 1973 cva made by juker
Traditions never used a side plate like that.

CVA used that style sideplate back then and most of their guns were Jukar out of Spain. I built several of their kits back in the 70's, still have a Kentucky rifle and a Tower pistol that I built from their kits. Still take them out to the range now and then too.

I have a dead ringer for it in flint only made by Muruko of Japan. I pulled that ugly trigger off heating it up and forging it out so it looked like a real trigger instead of one from a BB gun.
It actually shoots quite well and the flint lock makes lots of sparks. Mike D.

You are correct on that. On Mine, it was the stock that was to long on it. I had to cut the front of stock down and reform it to fit the cap then drill it so the holes would line up with the barrel. It was a wood working learning experience putting that pistol together. I was 14 when I received it as a Christmas present in 1976. It was made in Spain and sold by CVA.
I have one real similar to it except it's a flint and no nose cap that I picked up at a gunshow for $10. Got it cheap because they fired it in the white and never cleaned it. I figured the parts were worth that. It looked so good when I cleaned it up and finished it that I hated to fire it, but of coarse I did.
Said Jukar on it. Back then all the CVAs and Traditions parts were enterchangable because they imported from the same place.

The kits do have problems with the threaded holes in the cap lining up. I got frustrated, tossed the brass casting and poured a pewter cap instead. Worked out better, looked good too.
