Rifled, octagonal barrels with somewhat rough bores in 11.5 mm calibre, the top of each inscribed "Saporta". Dovetailed brass front sights, fixed rear sights with two flaps on the tangs.

Saporta began his military training in the Page Corps before enlisting with the Bavarian army, where he served as adjutant to Prince Otto. When Otto became King of Greece in 1832, Saporta accompanied him as Hauptmann and was appointed his Hofmarschall there. Moreover, Otto also commissioned him to conduct scientific research in Greece. He returned to Bavaria in 1837, where Ludwig I appointed him Hofmarschall to Queen Therese. He retired from military service as Generalmajor and subsequently served as royal chamberlain.
