France - 19th Century - Mid to Late - Percussion - Pistol
Interesting test tube pistol This gun system is used to test powder for firearms and the graduated wheel indicates the force released. Percussion lock without marking. Chimney with cover finished in the form of a 15 tooth wheel, it is screwed to a steel base screwed to the barrel. Large steel spring escaping from the frame and lodged in the teeth of the wheel, also allowing the wheel to be unlocked. Iron fittings. Wooden frame without breaks or wormholes Length 25 cm brass trigger guard The system with the wheel works well but the hammer does not hold its notch and the trigger does not move, it must be operated manually (pull with the thumb and let go) then the percussion is good
