About this work
The Pentermans were a family of gunmakers who played a leading role in firearms production in both Utrecht and Leeuwarden. An unusual feature of this pistol is its hidden screws. To disassemble the weapon, the rounded mask on the butt cap must be removed, as this conceals the first screw.
