Fernando, I hope you would not mind the following comment: certain states' legislation would make it difficult to acquire this pistol without a permit. For example, in the state of California, all pistols, including antique (pre-1898) ones could be considered potentially an "assault weapon" and thus any out of state transfer needs to go through a licensed dealer. Other states in the US also have restrictive legislation, and this may be discouraging to members like myself here.

Thank you so much for the hint, Teodor.
In fact, that wouldn't occur to me; i brought this thing here as a collectible piece

.
Besides, in my 'state', firearms produced before 1890 are not subject to manifest. Also the ammunition this thing would consume (.22 Flobert) is considered obsolete.
OTOH, and as you would know, in our European imagination, guns in America are free to bear all around

.
No deal, too bad
