<p>[QUOTE="RomanK, post: 13335428, member: 85430"]Hello! Could you please help me with this pistol? The item is of French origin. I suspect it is a copy, but I can't figure out what period it was made in. There is an RF mark on the barrel, and I don't understand what it means. There are two marks — the number 4, which possibly indicates the assembly number of a pair? There are no marks on the inside of the lock. There is a mark on the brass trigger guard.</p><p><br /></p><p>My main question is about the screws: how can I tell whether they have metric threads or not? I'm not knowledgeable about this. If it is a copy, which model is it? Model 1822? But that model has a brass pan, and this one doesn't... If it is a modern reproduction, why did they apply an unclear RF mark instead of the standard proof marks?</p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
