Our Assessment: This Pedersoli L326 Le Page “Target” Deluxe pistol is a faithful and elegant reproduction of the high-grade French dueling and target pistols produced by Henry Le Page between 1840 and 1850. With a rust-browned octagonal barrel, fine scroll engraving, and gold inlays, this deluxe model is as much a work of art as it is a precision shooting instrument.

The hook breech barrel, adjustable rear sight, and set trigger make this pistol exceptionally well-suited for target shooting, while the traditional construction and styling will appeal strongly to collectors and historical reenactors alike. Whether you’re a black powder competitor, a collector of high-end reproductions, or a fan of 19th-century European firearms, this Pedersoli Le Page Deluxe stands out as a premium offering. So bid high and bid firm. I highly encourage you to take a look at the condition of the item in our high-quality photos. Good luck with your bid. -K.F.
