Japan Antique Berloques

Japanese 2mm pinfire berloques were made during the 1940's to 1950's.

Japanese guns were usually made from three layers of die stamped brass, which were riveted together then nickel plated, unlike the well crafted Austrian pistols. The barrels on earlier guns were drilled through. For safety reasons, later guns had plugged barrels vented to the side, top or bottom, or through both the top and bottom.
