Description:
French Correbon double hammer, single shot, compound weapon. There are two nipples that lead to the powder chamber. When the trigger is pulled, two caps are detonated simultaneously. The unusually long dagger, when held under the stock, may be released by pressing a button under the grip, or will automatically release when fired. This piece published in "Firearms Curiosa". Boxlock flintlock bayonet pistols are collectible and desirable. This looks as though it is from the period of 1790 to 1825, or a little later, due to the rounded instead of the slab-sided butt. Originally produced in England although many variations were produced in Belgium. Since it does not bear a makers mark, there is no way of knowing who made it. Back then, most guns were produced in small shops by individual gunsmiths or small crews of makers specializing in the various parts. While boxlock flintlock pistols are not scarce, there are minor variations in the basic type, so it is rare to find two exactly the same.
