    Exceptional Colonial American Period Flintlock Ketland & Co.Trade Gun

    Sooo, I got the gun apart. Browning is still visable on barrel above the stock. Interesting markings on bottom of barrel number 18 and through the rough filings what appears to be is 38 or 36. So maybe that makes sense with the proofing marks and age of gun. I am working on getting contacts to...

    Thank you,, There is a slot under the barrel. The end is rounded also. I will post some more pics of what you mentioned. How could browning be done in a controled manner? I would love to have the forearm replaced but I do not know if that is possible.

    Exceptional Colonial American Period Flintlock Ketland & Co.Trade Gun

    I really do appreciate your concern. Sadly the patina was long gone before I got the gun. My Dad passed it to me and it was rough when he got it.

    I was not worried about patina. The gun had been "worked on" in the past. Now it is about preserving what is left. I do not see it having any real or special value at this point. It is more of a family keepsake. It did start life as a flintlock I believe and was later converted to percussion.

    Exceptional Colonial American Period Flintlock Ketland & Co.Trade Gun

    I have a Ketland fowler that was passed down to me from my father. I am full of questions abour cleaning it up and what I actually have and if it is correct and complete. It appears to be converted to percussion at some point. The ram rod looks like it has a bullet casing on it but when pulled...
