Have a pair of W.Ketland & Co. pistols with double saddle holsters sent to me to evaluate and make an offer. I have spent 3 days educating myself, but no expert am I. I need to talk to an expert ASAP to help me determine authenticity and a reasonable value. An email or collect call to my cell would be greatly appreciated. Jim.. 520-444-6911

Thanks. Question. Are you related to Edward Osthaus the artist. Great work on sporting dogs and the such.

no-- but my setter is named after him, I have several old lithographs and prints by Osthaus

that's Old Hemlock Osthaus on the left-- OH Griffin on the right

Nice pups. I have a German Wirehaired Pointer. Fritz 10 1/2. With moving this JUL to FL, we didn't get out, but next year the Quail better look out. I also have a large Osthaus, pencil signed front with back inscription to George.
