1832 French percussion pistol.
To begin with, the
French percussion pistol 1832, is a Denix reproduction.
The platinum or piston, created following the invention in Europe of the mercury fulminate primer by Jean Lepage. And the encapsulation of this primer by François Prélat.
This new principle seemed to become widespread around 1820, under the impetus of Joseph-Marin Gévelot, who industrialized the process and definitively supplanted flint around 1840 in Europe. The appreciable advantages of the percussion system were quickly exploited to develop multi-shot weapons.
This system was much more reliable and less dependent on atmospheric conditions than previous locks, which were modified to accommodate the new system, which lasted until around 1865.
