The .33 caliber 10" octagon barrel features trapezoidal rifling with a fast 1:13" twist. The exterior is finished to a silvery-gray and the top flat is marked Siber A Lausanne. The left flat is marked Cal. 33 along with the serial number near the breech. A small post front sight with gold bead is dovetailed directly behind the muzzle. The adjustable rear sight is mounted in the color case hardened tang to maximize sight radius, for best accuracy. The tang is lightly engraved with a floral design. The color case hardened hooked breech allows the barrel to be dismounted for cleaning, by withdrawing the wedge key. No rib, ramrod pipes, or ramrod are fitted to this gentleman's target pistol.
The pistol is stocked in walnut with a checkered grip. The stock has a few minor handling marks from use. The triggerguard is browned and features a finger spur, for easy aiming while shooting offhand. The bow of the guard is lightly engraved with a floral pattern. The long decorative finial of the color case hardened trigger plate is also neatly engraved. The single lock bolt passes through a simple iron washer style sideplate.
The Hege Company did an excellent job recreating this color case hardened percussion lock that functions like a Swiss watch, just as the original Swiss maker intended. The floral engraved percussion lock is fitted with a fly detent, and strong mainspring for fast lock time. The single set trigger is double phase, it will fire the lock set or unset. Push the trigger forward until it latches to set the trigger. The trigger adjustment screw directly behind the trigger controls the engagement in the set position. You may latch the trigger, or cock the hammer, in any sequence. A hardened iron nipple for No. 11 percussion caps is fitted in the well shaped bolster.
This pistol comes with its original factory felt lined range case that measures 16-1/4" long by 7-1/4" wide by 2-1/8" tall. This lightweight case is made of leather covered cardboard and is meant to hold all of your accessories when heading to the range for a day of shooting. A larger factory wooden felt lined display case is included that measures 17" long by 8" wide by 3" tall and comes with the brass key. The factory cleaning rod with 8-32 male threads, along with 8-32 female accessories include: cleaning jag, ball puller, worm, bronze brush, nylon brush, and bore mop. A second cleaning rod with 8-32 female threads is included with a cleaning jag attached. The factory small bead embossed copper powder flask with eight grain spout is included.
