Hi all,

I just picked up what seems to be a model 1850 Prussian cavalry pistol....except a couple modifications? I can't tell if they're original, i.e. a variation I haven't ID'd yet, or a post-issue rearsenal (or god forbid, bubba). The trigger guard and the barrel band aren't like all the photos I've seen of standard models. If the barrel band was cut, I think it was done a long time ago as there's no difference to the patina or weathering on the barrel where it would have been. As far as the trigger guard, it seems shaped and measured to fit exactly, like it was original but I don't have detailed photos of that area for an original (?) example. Other than that, I think all internal lock parts are number matching, it's got a very old repair just behind the lock plate, and it's unit marked to a cavalry unit. I love the cannon ring on the muzzle...just like the 79 Reichsrevolver. :-)
