This Ultra-Hi–marked Kentucky flintlock pistol is a faithful reproduction built in Korea and chambered in .45 caliber. It uses traditional flint ignition with a cock, frizzen, pan, and frizzen spring, and is configured as a single-shot, muzzleloading pistol. The barrel markings include "BLACK POWDER ONLY" and Ultra-Hi/Korea identifiers; the serial marking shows an F.P. prefix.
The pistol features a 10-inch octagonal steel barrel with a bright in-the-white (polished steel) finish and fixed iron sights, including a brass blade front and a fixed rear notch dovetailed into the barrel. The combination provides a straightforward sight picture in keeping with classic Kentucky pistol styling.
Brass furniture completes the period look, including the trigger guard, sideplate, nosecap, and two ring-turned ramrod pipes. The grip terminates in a plain rounded wooden butt with no butt cap. The lockplate carries factory scroll-style engraving that adds tasteful detail without departing from the traditional profile.
The full-length hardwood stock wears a striped faux curly maple finish that evokes original 18th–19th century American arms. Overall, this Korea-made example presents as a solid, well-executed replica with the key markings and features collectors and traditional muzzleloading shooters look for.
