This flintlock pistol with the clear signature of Claude Niquet of Liège around 1715 on its lockplate shows a thumbplate with a very strange and for me unknown troop marking "G.G. / N°42". This pistol is very similar to pistols made by Francois Pholien Henoul and Johann Jakob Behr for the Prussian army but unfortunately the troop marking of this pistol and the crown are certainly not Prussian. I think it could be Dutch. Is anybody able to affirm this?
