				 |  A very long flintlock pistol for comment 
			
			This pistol size is around 64 cm  ,the lock is from Marseille and it 's seems for me that this pistol was made for the oriental market. Any comment on it will be welcome. Cerjak |

			A big pistol indeed     If you don't mind, i would suspect the writings of France and Marseille on the barrel and on the lock. It could be a trading illusion. The Liege proof mark is there to remind you. . |

The Liege proof mark is there to remind you. Regards Cerjak Good eyes Fernando ! Yes many barrels from French guns & pistols was made in Belgium but the lock is from Marseilles it's not the first time I see that. See the following pictures from a french gun with mark from ST OMER ( north of France and Liege proof mark too. Regards Cerjak |
