BRUN” or ‘BRUN LATRIGE’ mechanical repeating pistol with manual reset and central percussion, capable of firing ten shots. Rifled, fluted barrel.
The ring-shaped trigger guard, integral with the barrel, also serves as a trigger. When pressed, the trigger guard retracts into a sleeve to confine a cartridge, which is then struck. Once the barrel has returned to the front, the tongue on the right-hand side of the frame acts as an ejector.
The stock plates are molded and glued together; the decoration on one side depicts a man defending himself from an attack by two assailants, and on the other a cyclist defending himself from an attack by a dog, with the number “BL” interlaced on each side. 
Numbered 14.
