Of the type often encountered with "EPROUVE" marked barrels. The example is finished in nickel with a St. Etienne proofed octagon barrel and tall bead sight. Cylinder also has a St. Etienne proof. Double action with a spurless hammer and folding trigger. Body is constructed of steel with smooth gutta percha scales. A curved 3 - 1/2" blade folds out from the underside of the frame. Blade is faintly marked on the left "BREVETE S.G.D.G." with an additional "SB" control mark associated with Sigaud-Barnerias. CONDITION: Very Good. Barrel retains most of its plating. Cylinder is mostly patina. Action retains significant portions of original nickel. Grip scales have surface abrasion and splits at the center. Defined bore with some cleaned black powder pitting. Fine mechanics. Blade has been sharpened and cleaned with some evidence of older oxidation.
