One of the guns that we have in our Collection is this Government Model. According to Clawson's book it was to be part of a group of pistols assigned to Brazilian Battleship "Minas Geraes". The information you provided makes sense in this context. I am beginning to think in an article about this, made to be published in USA.

Your most welcome! Collecting weapons becomes most interesting when you can actually get some history on them.
