Scarce Jarre, Paris, Harmonica Pistol, #191, 9mm PF cal., 10-shot, 4-3/8'' barrel, blue finish, European walnut grips. Near identical to the example pictured on page 33 of the book ''Treasures of the NRA National Firearms Museum'', by Supica, Wicklund & Schreier. Mfg'd from the late 1850s thru about 1870. Condition is near fine retaining approx. 75% toning blue. Grip panels show minor oil darkening. Although we do not recommend actioning this pistol, the action is good and the bore is fair. Trigger spring shows minor repair. A finely made European alternative to the revolver. Est.: $6,000-$8,500. (Antique)
