An elegant flintlock combat pistol dating from the First Empire. Octagonal barrel, flared at the muzzle, chambered for 26-ball calibre. 48 fine rifling grooves. Flat-bodied lock. Hammers with notches. Waterproof iron pan. Roller-type mainspring, screwed in from the inside. The weapon is fitted with iron fittings. Rear counter-plates in a bat-wing design. Front counter-plates with floral rosettes. Round, lip-shaped trigger guard. Oval hemispherical cap, with a widened base featuring concave grooves, and a cap base decorated with a heliotrope flower. Beautiful varnished walnut mount. Very angular. Checkered grip. Trigger guard with a duck-bill tip. Slight damage and losses on the right-hand side. This very elegant and well-proportioned pistol has been subjected to an attempted flame-colouring treatment, which should be removed to restore the weapon to its original appearance.
