As [USER=19463]@dougsmit[/USER] states, when a fair example is the only one or the best one known to exist, finding another one in a lifetime is unlikely. I would love this gold pistole to be in EF condition, but who cares, there&#039;s no other (so far, at least)</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_HKG3SbYuU2M/TNl1THz86II/AAAAAAAAAWQ/wIP97i0sflg/s1600/D-021-024-79.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><b>Louis II de Montpensier</b> (1560-1582)</p><p>Pistole, or - 1579 - Atelier de Trévoux</p><p><b>+ LVDO .
