Belgian four-barrel pepperbox pistol, ca. 1830s-1840s. 426 grams, 7" long, 3" barrel. Attractive compact pistol with the Belgian "ELG" mark between two of the barrels, the barrels all numbered, the pepperbox lightly engraved (worn off in some areas), grips in fancy burl walnut, "Mariette Brevete" engraved on the inside of the backstrap indicating it might be a French patent, all in good overall condition though not all barrels are intact and able to unscrew.
