FLOBERT BELGIUM SINGLE SHOT RIFLE .32 RIMFIRE

This is a pre-owned weapon that has some age to it. The rifle has some signs of being used. Everything is still original on it but does have some rough spots. I have not fired this weapon but it does function correctly. If you have any question or want detailed pictures please contact us. Flobert Guns: In 1845, French inventor, Louis Nicolas Flobert, modified a percussion cap to hold a small lead bullet. Flobert modified the cap further by creating a rim at the edge so that the cap and bullet could fit in a chamber of a pistol. The round contained no powder and was designed to be a toy. In 1845 Flobert made what he called "parlor guns" for this cartridge as these rifles and pistols were designed to be shot in indoor shooting parlors in large homes.
