This pistolet modèle An XIII is a flintlock cavalry pistol, made mostly between 1806 and 1814, in Charleville, Maubeuge and St.Etienne. This pistol was designed to equip mounted units, each horseman using two pistols. Ordered by Napoléon for only his army. The Manufacture Impériale de Charleville was a major French state arms factory that operated during the Empire (roughly between 1803 and 1815) and was famous for producing high quality flintlock pistols and muskets. The Charleville modèle An XIII is probably the best pistol in terms of quality. This pistol we are offering for sale now is in most optimal condition. Mass 1,27 kg. Long total 34,8 cm.
