There is nothing to grasp on the hammer to cock it so I’m guessing the lever along the tang is a cocking lever..but I’m still waiting for my call from the Nobel Committee..
I don’t currently have a Pedersoli but have had. I have a custom 36 percussion with a simple drum breach that is more reliable with less putzing than the patent breaches I have/had. Gonna sell it soon, show you some pics if you want.
