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