Description

Peter Fonda's .45 Caliber Pistol. A muzzle loading .45 caliber cap-and-ball pistol, custom made for Peter Fonda by noted gunmaker Don King (who handcrafted every mechanism and decorative inlay from scratch). The lockwork exhibits totally original casehardening and bluing, while the barrel is originally finished and artificially aged. The handle is a magnificent example of tiger maple with a beautiful wire-inlay chrysanthemum on the butt. The pistol features a left-handed caplock, and the top of the barrel is engraved with "D.K. for P.F.", and it forms a matched set with the Kentucky long rifle and Bowie knife that are also offered. Fired little, if at all, and in superb condition.
