Flintlock pistol for ID

Dear namesake

Mmmmm ....... In any case ... dubious attribution. The percussion system seems to be original, not a flint conversion, and in that case, the French pistols have an oval as an end of the hilt, following the designs of the time of the first empire. In addition, hunting scenes are not usual during this period in France, except for shotguns and hunting rifles. In all cases, the trigger closure and the shape of the butt cap seem to be mimics of a previous design.

A hug
