Ardessa Spain LePage knock off.

That’s what I’m calling it anyway. .45:cal with what looks like a version of micro groove rifling. Single set trigger feels pretty good in the hand and weighs just over 2lbs. Anyone have first hand experience with one of these? It was another impulse buy last weekend.

Well, that's an odd duck. Interesting.

I didn’t find much on a google search.

Impulse? Can't fault you. I'd have bought it in a heartbeat.

 

[Mica]

Same. I'd have jumped on that. Its a beauty. Kind of unfortunate about the markings on the left side.

Asdesa has made several models over the years that were not imported to the US. About 15 yrs ago, they made a single barrel muzzle loader pistol that had 3 - 75 caliber bores in it and an odd select fire percussion hammer. It would fire as fast as you could pull back the hammer to fire the next. A few were special order only items that had to be imported from companies other then traditions.

Yes, Kuchenreuter style match pistol. Have owned and shot matches with a few of this style. Have an 1850s original also. Great match guns...c

I’ll have to shoot it soon to see if it’s a keeper. I have a Pedersoli Kuchenreuter in .38 that is a nicer made gun but cost three times as much.
