SELF DEFENSE Pistol from the Mid-19th Century

Here we present an antique Double Barrel Side by Side Pinfire Pistol, made circa the 1850s-60s. This pistol was made for self-defense for the 19th Century citizen. Its twin barrels are chambered for the 9mm Pinfire cartridge, one of the first self-contained metallic cartridges, and certainly the most initially successful from the 1830s. The barrels hinge down with a press of the lever on the side of the frame.

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.

The overall conditions are good. The actions are strong on both examples. Bores have darkened and remain smooth. Both grips are solid we an expected amount of handling. These examples have been refinished in nickel. A unique sliding safety system is present atop the barrels and doubly functions as a sight. No front bead sights. The modern display case is in very good shape.

Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.

Barrel is 4-1/2 inches.

Caliber: 9mm Pinfire

Overall condition as seen in photos.
