Liege pistols, although not the fine quality of the British version, were robust, heavy and well made resulting in other nations Governments also contracting Liege pistols for their armed forces. This Liege made Sea service pistol was made for the Turkish Government. It is is in very good as found, un-messed with condition. It measures 15 ½” overall with a 9” steel barrel.
