          Here is our new Brass Barreled Ketland Trade Pistol. The ketlands were my favorite gunmakers. The family produced flintlocks and parts to build them in Birmingham England for several generations. This is your typical "trade pistol" of the late 18th and early 19th century. full view

          Here's a view from the left. Notice how similar the furniture is to the Light Dragoon pistols of the era? The Ketlands also made guns for the British government under contract and presumably reused the molds for their civillian guns. Unlike the military parts, the civillian parts are engraved. left view

          Here is a view from the bottom. The Ketland trademark for nearly a century was a flower engraved on the triggerguard. bottom view

          Here's a view from the top. The barrel is marked "London" even though the original guns were made in Birmingham. The barrel on our reproduction is 8" long in .60 caliber as was the original. It is a swamped brass barrel with a steel breechplug. top
