Gun ID and value?

More likely they didn't have a web site a hundred years ago.

 

HAHAHA!! I forgot the ".com" behind the name!!

Actually what I DID miss was the "E" on the end of Wheire, and it may not even be that, just what I could figure from the picture.

I know nothing about the maker myself, except he is listed in the books.

Looking at the profs as closely as I can, it would seem that the proof mark identifies the gun as a Ketland , according to my book of Armourers marks by Cyngell ( published 1959)

However, the top marking is still a mystery to me, it could be an inspector's stamp.

ketland BTW, is a very respected name in black powder circles!

it would be interestig to get a look at the inside of that lock!

 

As far as forgetting more about guns that Backbay knows, crap, that's not the only thing I've forgotten, like where in blazes did I put my slippers??!!
