[corrado26]

Here a further example of this pistol together with its holster for a pair. The information regarding Hermann Tanner is incorrect: Hermann Tanner was the son of Carl Daniel Tanner in Herzberg/Harz, born in 1818 in Herzberg and joined his father's business as a partner in 1854. He was not a Belgian gunsmith and never lived in Liège. However, he sourced many weapon parts from there and sold them as his own products. Later he moved to St. Petersburg (Leningrad), where he worked as a rifle manufacturer. The pistols mentioned here were probably made during this time.
