The intricate details on these pistols are truly remarkable - from the engraved lock plates bearing Jalabert's name to the chiseled and inlaid gold vases and floral motifs on the barrels. The grip is crisply checkered for added texture and style, while the steel mounts add a touch of elegance.
One cannot help but admire the fine attention to detail on these pistols, including the faceted vase design on the trigger guard front extension and the flower-shaped pommel button with gilt recesses. Each element adds to the overall beauty and sophistication of these firearms.
