Wish I had seen it.
Second Pistol: Again, the crude trigger and unfinished trigger guard. Note also the hammer, frizzen, and frizzen spring attached with nails/pins versus screws.

Dear Rick,
Thank you for these technical comments. I missed one day a good one a percussion pistol with a beautiful damas barrel. I will receive in the next few days a khyber one like the ones that i posted. All the best, Kubur
