The rarest of the rare: a black-powder falling-block lever-lock pistol, circa 1880.

Original; no purchase permit required.

Works with black-powder cartridges, possibly a shortened rifle cartridge.

Length approximately 28 cm, calibre about 11 mm, rifled.

Mechanisms work: the breech opens and the gun cocks when the lower lever is tilted forward,

the extractor is present and functions; insert a cartridge, return the lever under the grip and fire.

May be in shootable condition but no guarantee.

Original pistol, not modified from a rifle!!

Probably a higher-quality weapon from an Afghan or similar arms workshop — not a slapped-together piece... such extreme contraptions weren't made in the West....

Some markings and numbering from around c. 1880.

A must-buy for many firearms collectors who want something special they won't find elsewhere..

It's an insanely fierce contraption; it'll provide plenty to talk about for firearms enthusiasts..

Do not shoot it, even if it is in shootable condition!!

Comes in an attractive book-like case!!
