Armand à Paris

Luxurious boxlock pistol (the must of progress since 1777!) known as “with Scottish”; model with launching bayonet, alas disappeared, usually used by the naval officers. Superb balance in spite of its 930 G, it is a weapon also made to be useful. Rod in pennon.

The very old chart found in the gun teaches us the historical source from this object of the end from 18th - Notch was 21 years old in 1789. It is separated from its twin in the pair since more than one century: opinion with the really good sleuths… While waiting, it deserved well a restoration in the rules.
