Do you know what it`s like to stand behind the front door all day and wait for the Mail? 😜
A dream Pistol landed on me today.
Breech-Loading Percussion Pistol Kaliber 11.5 mm
Target-Pistol
France 1885
Original Mahogany Case.
Supplied with its leather Case.
The processing and the Condition of the Pistol are just a dream.

I haven`t found many of these Pistolsyet. Finally one that I can pay for.

I think I`ll take it to bed tonight.😂

I don't understand how or why you breech load a percussion gun. It's a work of art though.
Speed of loading, ease, regularity, and forced ball.
This method was very common in Europe in the 19th century, especially among the good manufacturers and even among the bad ones who left us whole wagons of cheap Belgian material... ;)
