The pistol be period between 1740 - 1760 bus the name of the manufacturer of the barrel (which should be read GIO- LAZARINO- COMINAZZO) is there approximately these years, where a little bit front. The line of the stick as well as pommel and turntable are typically French (where better, not Italian).
Gio (Giovanni) Lazarino Cominazzo was a nephew of Lazarino Cominazzo, very famous manufacturer of barrels of Brescia, which began its work at the end of the 16th century. There are no badly imitations also of barrels “Lazzarine” because the name was in Europe a guarantee of quality.
