The Le Page percussion pistol is a notable firearm from the early 19th century, embodying the advancements in percussion cap technology that revolutionized firearm design during that era. Named after the French gunsmith Napoleon Le Page, the pistol exemplifies the transition from flintlock to percussion cap systems, offering greater reliability and ease of use.

Typically chambered in calibers such as .36 or .44, these pistols featured a single-shot design with a percussion cap mechanism that ignited the powder charge when the trigger was pulled. The construction often included brass or steel components, with intricate detailing and sometimes decorative engravings, reflecting the craftsmanship of the period.
