Title: 090526-2 Pistol

A very interesting and challenging American gun attributed by the owner to Abraham Schweitzer of Lancaster and Chambersburg, PA. But it is unsigned and thus its maker is truly unknown.

PLease assist us in identifying it. Perhaps there is a similar "signed" gun known to the viewers.

unknown....oal...15 1/4...bbl....9 9/16...40 cal smooth bore...7/8 oct bbl no makers name...lock marked Ketland & Co.
