Last week I got this pistol with a very nice brass barrel and a brass lockplate. Unfortunately it is not signed by its maker but the style of the barrel and the stock makes me think that it was made by CASSAIGNARD at Nantes. He is reported for the years 1774 to 1812.

A rather interesting piece indeed, sir. No marks inside the lock plate or under the barrel ?

I dismantled the pistol: No, not a single sign or mark, really nothing

They say that, when a piece is not put out in the market but made by direct order of a client that knows well the smith, no marks are needed. Could this be the case ? ...

I think yes. The orderer tried in this case to minimize the costs, thats all.
