Hello all,
Recently acquired this pair of Model 1837 French Naval pistols, both are dated 1842. Both are overall in very good condition, both bores are bright. Just got them in and gave them a quick wipe down really in great shape, one of them is missing the arms on the captured rammer. Percussion pistols really aren't my thing. Pricing online for individual guns is anywhere from 700-1500 from what I can see. So just trying to find out a little more about the history of this model of gun, and if someone wants to take a stab as what they may be worth. Cheers!
