Antique SPANISH Eibar 11mm PINFIRE Revolver with FOLDING TRIGGER Mid-19th European Sidearm
Description: Antique SPANISH Eibar 11mm PINFIRE Revolver with FOLDING TRIGGER Mid-19th European Sidearm Here we present an antique Spanish Pinfire Revolver, made in Spain circa 1850. In 1835, notable gun maker and inventor Casimir Lefaucheux 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. This is a medium to large frame revolver that includes a lanyard ring. The top of the barrel is marked with the maker’s name and locale. The overall condition is fair. The action functions but the trigger return spring is weak. The bore is dark. The ejector rod is absent. A neat piece that puts several developmental stepping stones on full display! Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 4-1/4 inches. Caliber: 11mm 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 $450 #190720 SOLD Antique: Yes |
