Excellent examples of the 1900 pistols, and some great accessories.

Could I see a closeup of the markings on the side of the barrel on both of the 1900's. I love the long barreled version. I Never had a chance to own one. though I have seen others.
Guns have only two enemies, rust and politicians.


I am still looking for ANY information regarding the European Use of the Original Costons flares from 1859 through 1881. Photo's, Patents, contracts & orders, ANY INFORMATION IS NEEDED ! !

The long barrel version is very unusual. Thank you for sharing these pictures with us. Is this model bearing any date?

No, it doesn't bear any date but I think that it is a post ww2 construction.
If you look at the writings on the barrels you can notice that it is missing the letter "R" before the word "Stabilimento" that, on the contrary, is present in the other case. The "R" is the initial of the italian word "Regio" that means "Royal" and was eliminated from all the governmental inscription after the war, in 1946, when Italy became a republic.
