The engraving to the butt cap PIE VII refers to Pius VII, an Italian, born in 1740 who entered the Roman Catholic Church and was elected Pope in 1800 on the back of large support from the French Cardinals. Pius VII initially got on well with Napoleon agreeing the re-establishment of the French Churn in 1801. Pius visited Paris in 1804 for four months and "crowned" Napoleon as Emperor. A turn around in support saw a French army invade Rome and the Papal territories in 1808. At some stage these were either presented to Pius VII, an Officer of the Papal Guard or a member of the Papal Entourage. One fore-end repaired and one wrist. Purchasers will require a CITES certificate if they wish the ramrod tips to accompany these pistols outside of the EU. Purchaser in America will not be able to have the ramrod tips.
