Pinfire Pistols & Revolvers

1850s Verney Carron Fres Belgium made 11mm Pinfire Revolver with Gold Inlay Engraving

Description:
What we have here today is a masterful piece of gunsmithing and history. Originally designed and invented by Casimer Lefauchiex in 1860 and used in the American Civil War between 1861-1865, because it fired 'self-contained' cartridges rather than "percussion " fire systems and at the time superior to those of American gun maker Colt.

An exquisite reminder of what gun making was before computers, cad and ai; not to mention of how the American Civil War brought about significant changes in gun manufacturing!

A must have for all collectors: French, Belgium, Civil War era, chambered in 11mm with an overall excellent condition and bright bore and featuring inlay engraving masterfully done be French engraver N. Lyon! And still not duplicated today!
