    KY pistol timeline

    There are plenty of German-made rifled pistols dated prior to 1770. Look at enough of them, you'll see where the "Kentucky" pistols found their inspiration. 1750 Saxon polygrove rifling http://www.hermann-historica.de/auktion/hhm48.pl?f=NR&c=28233&t=temartic_S_GB&db=kat48_S.txt More "Kentucky"...
