A French Model 1763 flintlock pistol in .69 caliber from the Revolutionary period, produced at the Libreville arsenal, the name Charleville took when it was renamed in the 1790s. The barrel tang is stamped M1763. The metal shows a grey patina with surface oxidation, the wood has minor dings and scratches, and the supplier rates the overall condition good. The action functions correctly.

For a Delaware collector the interest is the arsenal name as much as the pattern: a Model 1763 marked under the Libreville name belongs to a short window in French arms production. It is sold as a used antique in the condition stated and is meant for display and study. The dealer transfer is handled as a handgun sale in Delaware, so the buyer needs the qualified purchaser permit or a current carry license already in hand, must be 21 or older, and completes photo identification, Form 4473 and the background check at the counter.
