My library on European gunmakers has not been discovered since downsizing 3 years ago.
I would appreciate input from any forum member who may have info on this maker.
Most double barreled pistols I've run across over the past 60 years have been smoothbores.
This pistol likely served as a longer range self defence coach Pistol, howda or backup pistol for an officer,
I welcome any input.
I've enclosed photos, note the beautiful damascus pattern on the barrels !
Thank you, Relic shooter

Thanks for the follow up info Martin.
That pistol has a lot of promise if properly restored.
Would be a get pistol to compete with & would have snapped it up if for sale on this side of the pond.
Best to you & yours,
Chuck
