BELGIAN Antique MEYERS Brevete PINFIRE Revolver
Description: BELGIAN Antique MEYERS Brevete PINFIRE Revolver Liege Proofed Pinfire Revolver Here we present an antique Belgian Meyers Brevette Revolver, manufactured in Liege, Belgium circa 1870. This revolver was designed to be used for concealable self-defense in the last half of the 19th Century. The pinfire cartridge was one of the very first successful metallic, self-contained cartridges in history. It was invented in Paris by Frenchman Casimir Lefaucheux, and he was granted a patent in the mid-1830s. This predates the invention of rimfire by about 10 years. Aside from being first, the pinfire cartridge was not primed on the back of the cartridge, but had a pin (basically a firing pin) projecting out of the side of the cartridge. Thus, the revolvers made for this early cartridge had flat hammers that struck the cylinder and cartridge from the top, as the pin would project out of a small hole in the cylinder. The first revolver to shoot these ingenious cartridges was Casimir’s son Eugene Gabriel Lefaucheux in 1854. The left side of the barrel is marked “MEYERS/BREVETTE”. The overall condition is very good. The metal surfaces bear a gray patina. The markings are legible. The grips are in great shape. The bore is clear and sharp. The action on this revolver is excellent. Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 4-7/8 inches. Caliber: 9mm 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 $525 #7465 SOLD Antique: Yes |
