Greetings.

I have been following the discussion for a whilst but signed up only now. I am from Sri Lanka with an abiding interest in ancient arms and armour presently with a specific interest in the history of firearms in Sri Lanka (Ceylon). Fernando, I have sent a PM to you.

The pistol illustrated is very interesting. The rods would be ramrods if they could be taken out but you say they can only be turned? Seeing that the barrels are over and under with a single trigger but two hammers, could they dictate choice in which barrel fires at a given time or do they have a set frequency i.e. the top firing first and then the bottom or vice-versa?

Best Regards.
