These guns were among the very best ever imported!
Their fit and finished far surpassed most sold at the time, and most today.
They were also quite common on the target range.
Spare parts are few and far between.
Good luck on your find.

If I recall that was called either a "boot pistol" or "saw handle" pistol ... ???

That would be a little uncomfortable in your boot.

Obviously you don't undestand the language of guns.
In England you would put your pistol in your "BOOT"
In North America you would put your pistol in your "Trunk"
I suppose you would like somebody to put their pistol in their shoe? :idunno:
I'm sure right now you could think of some place for me to stick my pistol.
Have a great day! :v

Sir - you are actually mistaken on this occasion. Boot pistols, and this is NOT a boot pistol, were actually small concealed guns carried by gentry in the top of their riding boots.
The term 'boot' applied to the early period of the motor car in UK - NOT the rest of the world, is where boots were carried. American English usage calls it a 'trunk' because that is where the trunk was carried.

"Saw handled" pistols like this one may be banned from some target shooting events because of the shape of the grip.
I'm not saying this practice is right and it doesn't apply to all target shoots but before taking a gun like this to some target shoot it is a good idea to ask if this style is restricted.
