			Hello everyone.  I am researching pistols signed by both Thuraine and Le Hollandois, very few of which seem to survive.  Did the Royal Cabinet d'Armes of Louis XIII contain a pair, I wonder? If anyone one this forum has access to the 1729 inventory I would be very grateful if they could do a quick check to investigate the possibility and let me know.

			Thanks, Corrado.  I had in fact just found this pistol on a website posted by Kunst-Waffenkammer, a dealer in Heilbronn.  I also know of the pair sold from the Hanover Royal Collection, and a pair in very poor condition sold in Shrewsbury, England a few years ago.  But information about any other pistols, signed by both makers
