BRACE of NAPOLEONIC French Model AN IX Flintlock GENDARMERIE Pistols Antique MAUBEUGE ARSENAL Napoleonic Wars GENDARMERIE Pistol

Description:
BRACE of NAPOLEONIC French Model AN IX Flintlock GENDARMERIE Pistols Antique

MAUBEUGE ARSENAL Napoleonic Wars GENDARMERIE Pistol

Here we present a pair of antique French Pistolet modèle AN IX, or Pistol Model An 9, made at the Maubeuge Arsenal in France in 1812. This model was manufactured at all three of the French Arsenals, Charleville, Maubeuge, and St-Etienne. These pistols were made as military police pistols and continue to survive in their original flintlock state!
A Gendarmerie is a military force with law enforcement duties among the civilian population. The Police Nationale is responsible for Paris and other urban areas whereas the Gendarmerie is responsible for small towns and rural areas with fewer than 20,000 inhabitants. These pistols are of robust construction with lots of brass for support. The bores are a massive .60 caliber. With them being dated 1812, it is possible, if not likely, that they were used during the latter Napoleonic Wars.

The overall condition is fine. These pistols both exhibit goods bores with tight actions. Both pieces are dated “1812” on the left side of the barrel with proof/inspection marks on the left stock. The locks and barrel tangs are engraved with French markings that remain legible. Here is great opportunity to own a scarce pair of French flintlock pistols!

Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.

Barrel is 5 inches.

Caliber: .60 Flintlock
