An exquisite little French 60 bore flintlock muff pistol in a contemporary hollowed out book. The book is entitled 'Lettres de Henri-Marie Boudon, Grand-Archidiacre D'Evreux' and was published in 1785, which makes the pistol the same age (or earlier). 11/2" turn off barrel, action engraved with Stand of Arms on both panels, concealed trigger, one piece walnut grip. Mechanically excellent, the only minor defect being the back of the top slide safety has broken off. Imagine travelling, in a coach, through the French countryside in the late 18th Century with this little baby (concealed inside the book) as your protection! |
