DESCRIPTION

Iron mounted turn-off barrel breech-loading pistol. A tad under .40 caliber, 10 1/2 inches overall, 6 1/2 inch barrel. Barrel unscrews readily. No sign of a lug. Iron mounts gray, not overcleaned. Has a small dog catch but also holds well at half cock. Square back triggerguard. Pleasing grain to the wood.
Larger than the derringer-sized versions, but smaller than a holster version. The Colt pocket of its type, so to speak. Lockplate is marked but I see only the upper flourishes of script letters. French in overall appearance, though I suppose it could be a Huguenot gunmaker in England. The shallow angle of the grip and use of catch points toward an early date.

NOTE: Even though this is an antique, it still may not be paid for through Paypal. Payment may be made by check or money order.
