    Giffard pistols

    Something is very wrong with this set, the box is dated 1841 which precedes the manufacture of the pistols by at least three decades.😒

    Right! Never seen: type of rear sight and never heard about any pistol in 8mm......

    The upper one shows signs of temperature-discoloration. Some dudes tried to shoot the Giffards with gunpowder....
