Original Early 19th Century French Flintlock Pocket Pistol by DeLaroa of Paris
Item Description
Original Item: Only One Available. This is a truly charming small Flintlock Pocket Pistol with an overall length of 6", marked on the sides of the box lock with DELAROA and PARIS. This features a fold away trigger that only appears once the hammer is cocked. It has a 2" barrel with a smooth bore of approximately 0.39". The frame has some simple engravings around the markings, as well as around the trigger.
The action works well, but is a bit finicky. There is a safety to the rear of the cock, though it does not seem to work correctly, and needs adjustment. Also the upper grip screw is missing. The grip looks to be walnut, and is flat-sided with a nice "bag" shape.
In lovely display condition!
