Original Victorian Era Belgian Side Hammer Rifled Percussion Vest Pistol with Bag Grip & Liège Proofs - Circa 1850 Stocks with the late pattern policeOriginal Item: Only One Available. This is a lovely percussion vest pistol, featuring an octagonal rifled "turn off" barrel and a lovely "bag" shaped wooden grip. The pistol was made in Lige, Belgium, almost certainly for the European and American export markets. These were quite popular for self protection, and the small size made them easily concealable in a vest pocket. Pistols like this were equally at home on dark Streets of New York or of London
