Gaulois No.1 Palm pistol. Made early 1900s in France. Marked "MANUFACTURE FRANCIAS SAINT ETINNE/ARMES ET CYCLES" on the top of the frame. "GAULOIS" marked on the barrel rib. Pin front sight. Sliding dust cover. Reapplied matte blued finish on the metal components. Wood grip looks to be a replacement. CONDITION: Metal retains 95% of its finish with light handling marks and wear. Wood grip is excellent. Bore is lightly frosted with very good overall rifling. Seems to function as it should. JWA
