ENGRAVED Antique FRENCH Folding Trigger 7mm Double Action PINFIRE Revolver
Folding Trigger European Conceal & Carry Sidearm
Here we present an antique French Folding Trigger Double Action Pinfire Revolver, made in France circa 1870. 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 pistolto 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.
The overall condition is good. Strong action. The bore is in good shape for its age. This example has been sharply engraved. Both grips are in very good shape and maintain nice checkering. “LC” is marked on the inside of the left grip.
