ENGRAVED Antique BELGIAN 7mm Pinfire LEFAUCHEUX Style PEPPERBOX Revolver
ENGRAVED Folding Trigger DUTCH 6-Shot Revolver
Here we present an antique Lefaucheux Style Belgian Pinfire Pepperbox Revolver, made in Belgium 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 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 condition is good. Gray patina throughout. The action is functional with the muzzle pointed down but due to a weak spring the trigger does not engage the rest of the mechanism if pointed horizontal. The bores are in good condition. The grips are solid, showing wear from use.
