Nicolas Pieper
Model A - Calibre 7.65mm
Alain,
As you are the happy owner of a specimen of my imperishable work on Pieper, you will have been able to note by looking at page 143 that this gun is quite simply a Model A of Nicolas Pieper... who lost his plates of origin. The owner, undoubtedly finding that that made disorder, equipped with two plates of a pistol Franz Stock, plates which do not adapt besides correctly to N.Pieper. This gun is of the "Dismounting" type (see p.148). It thus does not break into two like "Tilting" of N.Pieper pistols.
Between us is known as, it is a rather rare part...
Michel
