Thank you Stuart
I'ts very interesting to hear that you had an "almost Identical"!
Did you sell it?Did it have any date on it?
Mine is made in Marseille,France for the Eastern Market.
But I can't figure out what the inscription is about!

I had a pistol almost identical to this some years ago, and it also had what is known as a "false ramrod". The stock is shaped to look as if there actually is a rod.
Are there any marks on the underneath of the barrel, as a lot of these were made in Belgium for the eastern market.
Regards Stuart
