Thrilled to share my recent acquisition - an incredibly early Pauly firearm, carrying the serial number 53. Its construction echoes more of the 1812 patent than the 1816 addition, especially in the way the frame is designed and affixed from the underside with a single screw, unlike later designs that used two.

"Pauly et compagnie" was under the ownership of Pauly himself only from 1812 to 1814, producing guns exclusively in Paris for just 18 months. By May 1814, Pauly had relocated to London, passing the company to A. Moreau and H. Roux. The new owners paid homage to the founder by marking the guns with "Invention Pauly" which is what you will see on nearly every Pauly gun made over the next 14 years.

Guns marked "Pauly et Cnie" are exceptionally rare.

Any photos showing the buttstock and triggers, not quite so close up? I'd like to get a "feel" for how the gun looked overall. That is indeed an incredibly early gun. Thanks!


May God bless America and those who defend her.

I have not set up my studio for taking long pictures of guns since I moved a few months ago but let me see what I can do. Maybe that's a good project for the weekend.

In the meantime here is one someone else took:

That is off the charts, Aaron. What is that tab on the front of the comb nose for?
