Martin,
That is very nice.
I have not seen a set trigger that looks exactly like yours.
Interesting.
How does it work?  Push the little lever forward?
Thank you for showing it.
What would the retail price of something like be?

Dear Gunmaker,
Thanck you for your kind words!!

You are an Artist!

The muzzleloader is free in Argentina like the USA. We have some problems... the powder is too bad (we don't have a Black Powder factory). We can't import any explosive substance... The percussion caps is other problem!!

But we shoot. All shooters have many ideas to solve each inconvenience!!
Soon I promise some target.
All our production is maded for export to Europe and USA

Greetings

Interesting  Martin very nice .
 i have a couple questions though  I ask these not to be rude but because i have built a couple Le Page duelers .
1)  is the lock ?
 i have never seen a Le Page with that type of lock . now Le page styled pieces sure . but  most that i documented used either an German or English type   drip rail lock or a small Mortimer style lock  which was completely surrounded by wood with no suporting of the boster at all

2) your rear sight .
  Le Page used two different types that i know of .
a) was a cast tang sight for the hooked breech
b) an adjustable rear .
 in the case of B ,  you cant see the adjustment, but the 2nd screw tells the tail . took me near 2 months to figure out how that sight  worked as i have never seen any photos of the underside of a True Le Page tang . but i think i got it  close as the sight works properly , is surprisingly simple to make  and doesn’t take a lot of room from under the tang  .

 here are some photos  that i submit respectfully







Again I submit these respectfully  with no intent to draw away from your thread

Dear Captchee,
Your information is really good, and your replica is very nice!!
But you need to know some details. Our pistol have stamped in the barrel "LE PAGE MOUTIER A PARIS". This inscription make the difference with the famous "Le Page" gunmaker of Napoleon. Le Page Moutier is a company from S. XIX birth when a woman with last name Le Page be married with a man with last name Moutier. if you find information you can see many guns maded for this firm, revolvers, pistols with two barrels and more. Our intention is offer a pistol with clear French lines (with some licenses of course). Our pistol model is not Le Page. many companies take different ways to make your "replica". We never see an original Kentucky pistol like the Pedersoli or many others! I hope you understand me.

 Thanck you
