An authentic example of a Model 1822 Tbis cavalry pistol, reassembled and refurbished in an arsenal using parts from various batches. This practice, common in the 19th century, aimed to extend the service life of weapons by recycling usable components into coherent and functional assemblies.

This example shows crossed-out markings, as well as a new inventory number, typical of regulatory reconditioning carried out under the July Monarchy, the Second Empire or the Third Republic.

Of robust and simple manufacture, it was intended for the armament of heavy cavalry (cuirassiers, dragoons, carabiniers) during the second half of the 19th century.
