Stamped on butt "LORON JR & Cie". Engraved nickel frame, fire blue extractor, checkered walnut grips, lanyard ring on left side. 70% original nickel, 70% fire blue, 60% barrel blue. Excellent grips. Fine working order. Very unusual and ornate turn of the century French palm pistol. This pistol is very similar to the Gaulois and the Rouchoust found on page 85 in the book "Firearms Curiosa". These unusual French palm pistols are highly collectible and rarely seen; this example is not even found in the book.
