BELGIAN 7.62mm Pinfire DOUBLE ACTION Revolver 1870s Liege Folding Trigger
Description: BELGIAN 7.62mm Pinfire DOUBLE ACTION Revolver 1870s Liege Folding Trigger One of the First Self-Contained Cartridges! Here we present an antique Belgian Pinfire Revolver in 7.62mm, made circa the 1870s in Liege. 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. This one features a brass frame with engraving on the barrel, cylinder, and frame. Nice burl grips. The overall condition is good. The bore is dark with strong rifling. The action is functional, though the trigger return spring is sluggish. The loading gate catch is absent. Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 5-1/2 inches. Caliber: 7.62mm (.30 caliber) 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 $600 #20702 SOLD Antique: Yes |
