I saw this and I thought damn Novus mentioned a Flobert a few weeks back.

NOt sure, but I think it is a different Flobert. I mean the company is probably the same, and it is probably a parlor gun too, but it does not look to me like it fires a .22 Flobert cartridge (possible though). The Flobert cartridge pre dates the .22 short (1845) and so Flobert was probably long dead when this gun was made. His company still existed though or they still made guns for indoor shooting (parlors) with that name on it for a while?

I always wanted a Flobert rifle

With a name like Flobert it's got to be good. Sorry reminds me of a bad Smuckers jelly ad.
