The "LEPAGE FRERES A PARIS 12 RUE D'ENGHIEN" inscription on the top of the pistol dates it to 1865 or later. A gold inlaid "2" is on the breech plug and upper tang indicating it is the second gun from a cased set. It has fine Rococo carving and engraving, blade and notch sights, rifled bore, and plain trigger.

Very good with most of the period refinished blue on the barrel, 25% case colors on the breech plug, primarily mottled gray patina on the balance along with some minor oxidation, and some minor marks and scratches. The stock is fine and has several small slivers and chips absent, some minor scratches, and some hairline cracks. The engraving and carving are distinct. Mechanically excellent.
