Cavalry Pistol Model 1763-66 Manufacture Of Libreville Revolutionary Period.
Model 1763-66 cavalry pistol, manufactured during the Revolutionary period.
During the mass conscription of 1793, due to a shortage of weapons and the complexity of manufacturing the Model 1777, the government revived production of this easier-to-make model.
A brass shortage meant that all the fittings were made of iron.
The round barrel is 23 cm long (27.5 cm from the breech tang). There are no markings or proof marks except on the lock plate, which features a clear marking and an acceptance mark from the controller, "F".
The stock is made of light walnut with a long fore-end, and the ramrods are of the original model but later. The overall length is 40 cm.
The mechanism is in perfect working order.
There are numerous dents in the wood and oxidation on the metal.
