Støckel: "1856 - 1870
"
impressive needle-fire target pistol. In one of the pictures the needle
looks out of the breech similar to the period Dreyse revolvers. The lever on the grip
pressed upwards opens the breech for loading. The 9½" octagonal barrel with
dove-tail and breech are nicely engraved and intensive bright blued, the other steel parts
are accordingly engraved. The stock is shaped like the 1850's dueling-pistols with a
massive butt-cap. On the right side is # 600.
A very unique pistol in excellent condition. $7,500.
"The work of John Montigny, best known for the development of the Mitrailleuse Battery Gun. Derived from the work of Swiss inventor John Samuel Pauley, the breechblock is operated by a lever extending down the upper tang, which is lifted up to bring the block back for loading, with a lever in front of the trigger guard used for cocking/ decocking the hammer."
