Thanks Spedini,
Can you please us how to load and fire this weapon? I am curious.
Also, how does the government in Sweden conduct safety tests etc. on firearms made by individuals for commercial venture or personal use ?

Hello TC
These pistols are not safety tested and there are no markings on them,probably because they were intended for blackpowder only.
To shoot the pistol you load it from the muzzle with blackpowder and patched roundball.After that you have to pull the"hammer" the back portion of the pistol and put a cap on,thats all.These are very simple pistols really.

Thanks Spedini,
The pistol appears pretty basic and unsafe i.e. to the user. Putting in a cap must be pretty tricky too for people with big fingers. But if they are working fine then our gunsmith must have done a good job.
