Pretty safe to say that this Police pistol was in fact number 15! Offered nice cleaned display condition this pistol retains both the original brass tipped ramrod and iron belt hook mounted on a triangular brass side plate opposite the lock. Showing some wear from years and years of polishing, this is a very hard to fine rare pistol, circa 1810.
