an extremely rare 1740 combination hanger flintlock pistol, this weapon is in the style of the southern Dutch gun makers, who worked in the middle of the 18th century around Liege. The rococo style is similar to that of Devillers and Niquet.

It is noteworthy that this hanger is also designed as a combination weapon from the start, the trigger mechanism is incorporated in the grip.
Most of the combination hangers are later converted hunting swords, so with an external trigger mechanism.
