Danish M 1772 Holster pistol.
Hi Cerjak,
That's a nice holster pistol. It's interesting that the Danish/Norwegian M 1772 shares several features with the French pattern 1733 Dragoon pistol, such as the prominent brass foresight and distinctive brass fore-end cap, but not the unbridled frizzen. What is the barrel length and the bore size ? I would guess around 12" and .65 inch. Best regards, Simon. |

Danish rider's pistol, model 1772
Quote:
I can see in the lock a small mark near the frizzen spring but I can't read it. Only thr ramrod I have in bad condition is from wood. The size and the weight( without ramrod) is the same. But how to recognize Norway model from Danish production. see exactly similar example . |
