Description:
This model was manufactured at all four of the French Arsenals, Charleville, Maubeuge, Tulle, and St-Etienne. It was made as a cavalry pistol and continues to survive in its original flintlock state. Over 300,000 of these pistols were made during their 8-year production run. This pistol was designed to equip mounted units, each horseman using two pistols. It was also used by the Navy. An improved version, known as the M1822, was produced after the Napoleonic Wars. Proving that imitation is the greatest form of flattery, the Americans copied the design as the “Harpers Ferry Pistol” and used it against the British in the War of 1812. This pistol is of robust construction with lots of brass for support. The bore is a massive .69 caliber.
