Thought you all may like to see a few.

Wonderful! Are the second and third ones adapted from long guns, or built that way?

For the last two, I don't know. From just looking at it it seems like they were built that way. Maybe I will try to take the grips/stock apart and see if the insides give any more clues.

Also, the first one was definitely built that way. It is Casimir Lefaucheux's first pistol design.

thanks for this thread...
