I have an excellent condition antique French percussion pistol from the time of King Louis-Phillippe circa 1830s for sale. I bought this gun from a Quebec antique arms dealer a few months ago and unfortunately need to move it on due to house renovations. This gun had its lock repaired by Bernard Riendeau, a Quebec master gunsmith specialising in antique arms. It is fully functional.
This gun is in excellent condition, excellent bore, all engraving and wood intact. There are some small dents here and there on the stock, and minor wood loss around the front stock pin. There is some pitting around the nipple area as seen in pics. This gun had been test fired by Bernard, but I haven't had time to try it. Because the lock was rebuilt it is quite stiff. Half and full cock are, of course present. The engraving on the top of the receiver says Patent Rohre, with serial number 6923 engraved on the bottom of the grip.
It will come shipped with the letter of authenticity as well as a silicone gun sock. I am looking for $2350 shipped, just under retail price for a quicker sale. No trades, EMT only. Insurance is extra and on the buyer.
