During the Egyptian Campaign in 1799 the Mamelukes cavalry drew the attention of Napoleon. He decided to include them into his army in 1802 creating the first Mamelouk Squadron of the Republic. The commemorative pistol introduced by Davide Pedersoli is the holster model, with round barrel 14.5mm caliber, featuring five flats at the breech, the upper one continuing along the barrel’s length to the front sight. On the upper flat there is the mark Ent.se Boutet. On the lock, two lines with the text M.RE IMP.LE / DE VERSAILLES. The trigger guard, the butt cap and the screw washers of the lock are made of brass. The butt cap screw is fitted with a steel ring and the ramrod is made of steel with brass tip.
