SOLD Kentuckian .44 Pretty as a French Lady of the Evening!

[selvinman]

I am reducing my accumulation and this one needs a new home. I have never shot it but see no reason that it will not go bang. Her OAL is 51 inches and she sports numerous brass colored overlays an engraved patch box and shiny brass inlayed plate opposite the case colored nicely working percussion lock. She is a single trigger long rifle and her barrel is about 35 inches long. All brass accessories, butt plate, toe plate, entry and two additional thimbles, nose cap. She has a ramrod. I have used her for display only for several years. Anyway see the pictures for complete description and she can be your date for $375.00 shipped to your door where legal in the lower USA by priority mail. Know your local laws; If you can't legally date don't buy! Thank you for looking and God bless!

I have her sister from 1967 Mine is also a .44 (.430) but will shoot .45 PRB (.440). Super lightweight and nice!

Does anyone have any insight on this rifle?
Selvinman stated that it possible was a Navy Arms import made it Italy. Looks like some "bling" was added by a previous owner.
@UndeadPoet would you elaborate on your experiences? Possibly a photo or two?
This is my 1st so I will be learning much about feeding it.
Wow, 1st time with a French lady of the evening....

William,

Mine is an Intercontinental Arms “Kentuckian,” and has a 1967 Italian proof mark. These could have been made by Armi Sport or Pedersoli, etc. It is the lighter colored rifle in between the Pedersoli Blue Ridge .54 and the Lyman GPR in .50 in the pics below. I got it from an uncle around 25 years or so, ago. He had never shot it and had it hanging on his wall for about 20 years before that. If you search in the forums here, I have posted info about it before.

Enjoy it when you get it!

Thank you @UndeadPoet !
Now I can see what she looks like before she got all dressed up!
I was actually thinking of restocking her in a different style rather than buying parts separately. My thinking is that a set of parts on one stock should work on another. Those parts being the barrel and lock. Would not change the fitting of them. So.... depending on how badly I "goof" up, one could always put the parts back.. Would like to attempt to build my own hardware & furniture at some point so I figured this would be good practice. Learn something about how this all "really" works.
Have piece of maple I want to practice carving on.

Are this dress too good for this lady?
Or should she stay wrapped in walnut?
