Possibly the evolution between Casimir Lefaucheux and Béatus Béringer,???? .....
But how does the hammer strike; or is the external hammer just a cocking deice on the Béatus Béringer Platform?

Looks to be just a cocking lever. Interesting action, looks faster to load than a conventional percussion pistol or rifle.


I have become addicted to English hammered shotguns to the detriment of my wallet.
