BELGIAN Antique MARIETTE PATENT Underhammer RING Trigger Pinfire PEPPERBOX
LEIGE PROOFED 1850s Revolving Self Defense Pistol
Description: BELGIAN Antique MARIETTE PATENT Underhammer RING Trigger Pinfire PEPPERBOX LEIGE PROOFED 1850s Revolving Self Defense Pistol Here we present an antique Belgian Mariette Brevette Ring Trigger/Under Hammer Pinfire Pepperbox Revolver. This firearm was made in the 1850s in Liege, Belgium, known for centuries now as one of the foremost firearms capitals of the world. It was expressly made for self-defense, giving the shooter 6 shots of 7.5mm caliber without having to cock a hammer. Gilles Mariette was an arms manufacturer in Liege and was active between 1832 and 1865. In 1835, Casimir Lefaucheux, a notable gun maker and inventor, patented one of the first self-contained firearms cartridges. This very early design included a case with ball, powder and primer, but what made it different from what was to come later in cartridge development was the “firing pin” that projected out of the side of the case. It was this pin that was struck and detonated the primer inside. His son, Eugene, would build on Casimir’s invention, designing a pistol to take advantage of it. The hammer would be flat and smash down on the side of the cylinder, from which the pin of the cartridge would project. This revolver and pistol design would become prolific, especially in Europe throughout the 19th Century, being adopted by militaries, used by civilians and police, and even being sold for use during the American Civil War. Many makers made both licensed and unlicensed copies. The overall condition is very good. Engraved frame. Original finish/patina. The action is strong. The bores are smooth and in good condition. The grips are smooth and solid. A neat variant of the Mariette Brevet pinfire pepperbox! Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrels are 2-3/4 inches. Caliber: 7mm Pinfire Overall condition as seen in photos. Very Fast. Very Safe. FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE. Delivered directly to your door by express mail! Guaranteed AUTHENTIC & Includes CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY. ancestryguns $1300 #217067 SOLD Antique: Yes |
