A local guy is selling an Intercontinental Arms Kentuckian flintlock pistol. I know IA is gone but I don't know anything good/bad about these pistols & haven't found much on them in general. Value these days in the time of mere transitory inflation? I saw a percussion model sold in here in Jan for 175. TIA!
 
It's definitely Italian. Guy thinks it may have never been fired but the frizzen has obviously been sparked a few times so I'm thinking it has. I'm waiting on a reply about corrosion as some of the pics appear to have it. Thanks!

Pics don't show the bore well but he swears it's great. Looks like it may have some light external corrosion but hard to say. He's at 125 on it so I'll probably chance it.
 
A lot of fun to be had there for $125. If there's corrosion on the exterior it can be fixed by browning the barrel and it'll probably look better too. It's Italian and it wouldn't surprise me if current Italian parts could be fitted if necessary. The Navy Arms pistol and the Replica Arms pistol in the illustration above could be brothers.
 
Thanks guys.

So I bit. Description was accurate & it appears unfired although sparked a few times. Bore is nice but needs cleaned. The lock does have some light corrosion & some came off with just a Hoppes wipe. I haven't done a full cleaning or disassembled it yet. Springs are extremely strong.

The cock & frizzen geometry is oddly a little off & the frizzen pin (or screw) is boogered up. Something to tinker with I guess. Otherwise it looks good with only minor handling marks. For the price I really couldn't go wrong. I agree the barrel would look better browned.

I would buy it for that if I were you. I've got a Kentuckian flintlock rifle that is fantastic. Italian with a 28 inch barrel and very well made for what I paid for it used. Been looking for a matching pistol. I'd say it's worth his price. The lock in my rifle functions and sparks well.
