very nice defence pistol, with chest and forced bullet, period Louis-Philippe (1820/30), with a Manufacture control stamp under the barrel.
half-loaded and loaded positions hold well with very clear percussion
- completely original, numbered 2 on all the parts (barrel/chest/hammer/trigger/trigger guard)
- chest and trigger guard finely engraved
- blond walnut butt in perfect condition
- very slight play on the hammer in resting position, no play in the loaded and half-loaded position
- original chimney
pistol is in its patina, with the small marks and grooves caused by use in its almost 200 years, but it has remained in very nice and good condition.
