Hi,
Similar markings on a Balkan pistol of mine, possibly French manufacture for the Balkan market with locally applied marks probably done by an illiterate craftsman. Regards, Norman. Last edited by Norman McCormick; 30th January 2024 at 07:12 PM. |

Hello, that pistol or kubura is not made in france but in Peć city in kosovo, it is balkan pistol called Pećanka, il post you silver mounted version, it is comon and widespread on balkan in 19 century, “marks” or “text” is a giberish, without meaning, decoration or atempt of increasing value.

Thank you for the input, I will add pictures when home. The blade is reasonably thin but sturdy. I have not tested the 'flex'. The balance is very good, the pivot point being exactly at the start of the fuller. Overall fairly similar to a British 1796 LC blade.
