This double-barreled pistol is a fine example of a 19th-century Belgian “coup de poing” type handgun, produced in the Saint-Étienne region, illustrating the technical and commercial exchanges of weapons of the time.
Percussion weapons sought to combine simplicity, efficiency, and portability before the widespread development of modern revolvers.
Perfect for antique weapons collectors, museums, or military history enthusiasts. Also interesting as a decorative piece thanks to its double-barreled style.
