Pistol af valnød, forsynet med perkussionslås, sign.: H C Delcomyn i Odense.
Heinrich Carl Delcomyn, bøssemager i Odense 1811-1849.
Information om bøssemager H.C. Delcomyn fra efterkommeren Thom. A. Delcomyn, Florida, 31/1-2013:
"Heinrich Carl was actually christened Henrich Carl del Commune but late in his life he began signing his guns H.C. Delcomyn. The del Commune (French Belgian) name originated from a long line of gunsmiths from Liege Belgium but was changed to Delcomyn years after they migrated to work in gun factories in Denmark.
Henrich Carl worked until 1848 as a gun maker for the 6th Dragon Regiment in Odense and thus the "H.C. Delcomyn Odense" markings on the guns. Henrich Carl died in 1849."
