1800s Antique EUROPEAN 11.43mm PINFIRE Self-Defense Double Action REVOLVER
Mid-19th European Sidearm
Description: 1800s Antique EUROPEAN 11.43mm PINFIRE Self-Defense Double Action REVOLVER
Mid-19th European Sidearm
Here we present an antique European Pinfire Revolver, made circa the 1850s. This piece features an octagonal barrel with a full rib, engraving, and a lanyard ring. This is a full-sized revolver chambered in a substantial pinfire cartridge.
In 1830, notable gun maker and inventor Casimir Lefaucheux invented the pinfire cartridge and patented it in 1835 to become 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. Gray patina. The engraving remains in nice condition. The action is strong in both double and single action. The bore is in good condition with strong rifling. The grips are solid.
