It comes from Anciens Establishment Pieper (AEP) and is a sidelock design built in Herstal with Bayard steel, and features a Knight on a horse Bayard logo stamped on both sides; Barrels were produced using the Demi-Bloc process by skilled craftsmen, with proofs marked “Pour Poudres Vives” for smokeless powder. A few handling marks on the stock and a small indent on the left hand side are present, with about 80% of barrel bluing remaining, and a silver bead sight for quick target acquisition.
