Kingdom of HANNOVER, circa 1850,
percussion cavalry pistol, cal. circa 16mm
rifled with 8 shallow grooves, 11" round barrel with
fixed sights, walnut full-stocked, brass furniture,
additional matching numbered shoulder stock 563, easily to be locked
together, showing acceptable usage with dings and pitting, but extremely rare.
Hannover’s pistols have a distinct safety: a small axis is installed in the
breech, which one can turn to stop the firing pin, or turned degrees, will not
stop the pin.
