French/Belgium percussion pistol

Fernando K · 27th October 2018, 03:13 PM

Hello

Now that I have seen the photograph inside the lock, I correct my observation. Effectively the lock has been primitively of flint and the bowl has been eliminated and the upper part of the plate has been removed by filing, although the engraving has been done after the transformation. The hammer is from a shotgun, and the inscription does not say anything, it is only a simulation of writing, common in weapons produced in the East.

Affectionately

Hi Markku,
Despite the fact that it is probably an "eastern" pistol, rather than French/Belgian, IMHO it is still a nice and interesting piece.

Thanks for all!

Would be nice to know how far from "east" this one
is?

But no problem-pistol still looks nice hanging on wall!

regards Markku
