Features full blued finish with case colored action and gutta percha grip. The Gaulois is one of the most common and yet, most interesting of the so-called palm pistols; it is a true firearms curiosa. This example marked "GAULOIS No. 1 MANUFACTUR FRANCAISE". CONDITION: Gun retains considerable original darkening blue. Right side of barrel exhibits some significant pitting. The squeezer bar retains some original bright color case hardening. The gutta percha grip with crisp checkering and one score on the right side. Action works well. Bore is fair with some pitting.
