Description:
SPANISH Antique PINFIRE Service Revolver Made by JOSE ARANGUREN of EIBAR
11.43mm/.45 Caliber Double Action Revolver!
Here we present an antique Spanish Revolver in .45 caliber, made by Jose Aranguren in Eibar, circa the 1860s. 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 is marked on the top of the barrel “FA DE JOSE ARANGUREN EIBAR”. Light floral engraving on the cylinder and frame. Folding trigger and a lanyard ring.
The overall condition is good. The bore is in good condition with strong rifling. The action (hammer/trigger) is strong. The cylinder does not currently revolve.
