I recently inherited what I believe to be a very well built replicate of a Forsyth ignition system pistol. Forsyth’s design used a refillable ‘scent bottle’ shaped magazine to prime the firearms lock with fulminate which then struck by a striker which was depressed by the weapon’s hammer. This removed the flash from the pan and decreased the ignition time of the firearm significantly. The magazine could hold enough fulminate for 25 shots.
Is there anyone out there that could help me determine if this is a weapon that could be fired or just a decorative piece to use as a wall hanger.
I sure could use some expertise and could meet you at the club to absorb your knowledge Call or text me at 314-308-8984 or email me at ereadenour@sbcglobal.net
Thank you in advance for your help
