    Gunsmith Anton Schaller Suhl Germany

    About 1850 Caliber 11,6 mm French, Belgian and English Pistol Cases are relatively common here in Europe. Germans are rarely found on the market. I just had to say yes. More on the couple later.

    A fine pair of Belgian Pistols

    A fine pair of Belgian Pistols

    I was finally lucky again. J.B. Ronge Fils from Liege/Belgium. Proven from 1832 - 1929 as a weapons manufacturer. I`ll just let the pictures do the talking. Later more.

    Anyone recognize this maker?

    Belgian or French Target Pistol??

    Finding the origin willbe difficult. Pistols in the syle were sold by Belgian and French Gunssmiths at the time. Gastinne Rennet and Le Page were the big Names of the time.
