WTS/WTT: Flobert Belgian Parlor Pistol, late 1800s

[Bap1911]

If it looks familiar it's because a INGO buddy of mine posted this last summer for me before I had enough post to due so on my end.

We have here a mid to late 1800s Flobert design Parlor Pistol made in Belgium. As the story goes, all gunsmiths who made these during the time period in Belgium used the same proof, so there is literally no way of tracking who created it, other than it is Belgium. From research, they seem to sell from several hundred dollars up into the thousands for particular manufacturers with documentation or the like. They use a 22 CB (conical ball) Cap and were used for indoor shooting.

This is a beautiful gun, beautiful engraving and craftsmanship, with an unknown history. Nice for it's age, but not pristine.

$550 cash/obo or trade for AR Uppers, nice HD shotgun, Lever action .357.

Make an offer, the worst that can happen is you get ignored.

Thanks for looking!
