French M1777 .69 Caliber Smooth Bore Martial Pistol Converted to Percussion Utilizing a Drum. St. Etienne with 1788 date proof and #525 on stock and brass frame. Metal smooth and dark with just some light surface rust at the breech. Mechanically fine. Wood very good with a rosette and some cross hatching carved on the right side, along with some scattered worm holes, but very sound.
