This video showcases a cased set of 1890s French target pistols, originally designed by Lepage of Paris for sport shooting. However, their unique purpose was for dueling with wax bullets, a system patented by Devilles for safe mock duels. These pistols fired compressed wax and charcoal pellets, similar to 'Edwardian paintball,' leaving marks on opponents' clothing. The set includes accessories for cleaning and maintaining the firearms, as well as primers. The pistols were even briefly considered for Olympic events, evolving from dueling each other to shooting at man-shaped targets.
