Antique AUGUSTE FRANCOTTE 11mm Double Action PINFIRE Revolver w/BONE GRIPS
Mid-1800s LIEGE PROOFED Self Defense 6-Shot Revolver
Here we present a nice example of an antique Auguste Francotte Double Action Pinfire Revolver made circa the 1860s in Liege, Belgium. Founded in Liege in 1810, the Francotte company established itself there, but it wasn’t until 1860 that the company became especially active. The company was one of the principal manufactures of weapons coming out of Liege from 1860 until 1914, when its activities were blocked by German Occupation. By 1890, Auguste Francotte sported no less that 150 different revolvers.
He also over the years produced licensed copies of Adams, Tranter, and Smith & Wesson revolvers. The Francotte company was also an important wholesaler, especially in the early 1880s, providing revolvers to wholesale houses in the United States, such as Sears & Roebuck and Montgomery Ward who would put their trade name on them. Only by disassembling the revolvers would one find the initials “AF” on the internal components.
The overall condition is fine. Much original blue is preserved, mostly on the barrel, with a brown patina settling in the other areas. Excellent action. Shiny bright, strongly rifled bore. Both grips are in very good shape and the left grip is missing a small sliver. Markings are legible. Liege proofed cylinder.
Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.
Barrel is 6-1/8 inches.
Caliber: 11mm Pinfire
