What vintage could this be considered?

Kentucky pistol. Most likely a kit. I put one together just like it when I was a kid, probably 1970’s.

Thanks, I figured it was from around that time. I should have clarified better that I was wondering what era this might represent, such as 1825-1850, etc.

I have a Jukar in .45 that I got from my Aunt when my Uncle passed away about 25 years ago, I presume he assembled it as a kit. I finally shot it for the first time a couple months ago, now that I've gotten interested in black powder shooting and have picked up half a dozen toys since. It hits way high, off the paper, going to have to do some fine tuning on the sites.
I've had some friends ask me what vintage this would represent? Would it be a replica of a Kentucky pistol? See attached picture and thanks for all or any responses in advance.View attachment 324372

Look how low the front sight is compared to the very high rear sights are.
Either replace the front sight with a higher blade or a lower profile rear sight.
Then see where you are hitting.

I would say 1970s kit type gun. Remember staring at these kit guns in the display case at the local ‘big box’ store, maybe with a price tag of $50 to $75, just out of my financial reach at the time. They never, at least to me, represented any particular gun or time period, just something similar to what one would see on Disney on Sunday night.

That said, they are definitely fun guns to load and shoot. Enjoy shooting it.

I had one that looked just like that one, except it was flintlock. Mine was a CVA kit and called a Colonial pistol.
