Description:
AN EARLY AND SCARCE 1800'S FRENCH "DUMONTHIER" MARKED ELGIN CUTLASS STYLE PINFIRE REVOLVING KNIFE PISTOL IN VERY NICE CONDITION. THE RARE PINFIRE REVOLVER HAS VERY NICE METAL AND MARKINGS ON IT. IT IS MARKED "DUMONTHIER" ON THE TOP EDGE OF THE CUTLASS BLADE. IT WAS MADE IN BELGIUM FOR THE FRENCH AS IT HAS "L.E.G." PROOFS ON IT AS WELL AS OTHERS. IT HAS A SCARCE AMERICAN MOTTO GOING AROUND THE CYLINDER IN A PANEL WHICH READS, "THE GUARDIAN AMERICAN MODEL OF 1878". THIS SUGGESTS IT WAS SENT OVER TO THE U.S. AT THE TIME IT WAS MADE. ALL OF THE METAL ON IT HAS A NICE EVEN NATURAL BROWN PATINA ON IT. THE CHECKERED GRIPS ARE EXCELLENT. THE SCABBARD IS FINE THROUGHOUT. I BELIEVE THE LEATHER ON THE SCABBARD MAY HAVE BEEN RESTORED AT ONE TIME. ALL SCABBARD FITTINGS ARE ORIGINAL. THE ENTIRE PISTOL IS 12 1/2 INCHES LONG. HE CUTLASS BLADE MEASURES 8 INCHES LONG WHICH INCLUDES THE BARREL. IT IS 1 3/4 INCHES AT ITS WIDEST POINT. IT HAS AN EXCELLENT SINGLE & DOUBLE ACTION. THE ENTIRE PINFIRE REVOLVING CUTLASS PISTOL HAS A FINE LOOK TO IT. THESE EARLY & SCARCE 1800'S CUTLASS PISTOLS ARE VERY DIFFICULT TO FIND!
