    Hello :D

    Here is a pair of "AN XIII" pistols, which equiped the French Imperial Cavalry :

    One of them is a rare "AN IX" model, marked "Mle AN 9" and "1804", which was modified into a "AN XIII" model by the Imperial Manufactory of Maubeuge :

    Maubeuge manufactured 27 674 pairs of pistols between 1807 and 1815. I suspect that this improved model was one of the first made in 1807...

    The total number of AN XIII pistols, made by all French manufactories between 1806 and 1818 was 151 555 pairs. This figure is done by the Mar?chal de Camp Baron Cotty, in a report written in 1855.

    I am happy to share my Napoleonic pistols with you.
