Description:
Antique European 7mm Pin fire Revolver.
Description: Probably Belgian-made . I didn't see any maker marks and didn't take it apart to really look for them. Looks like a number 11 under the left grip. It's a 7 MM Pin Fire Revolver with a 3 3/8" octagon barrel, 6-shot capacity, loading gate and folding trigger. These revolvers were produced in mostly in Belgium or Germany, in the mid to late 19th century and were popular among both civilians and law enforcement. Pinfire revolvers were named for the unique pin-shaped firing mechanism they used, which was loaded with a pin-shaped firing pin that struck the cartridge primer.
The design of the pinfire revolver allowed for quick reloading, and they were a popular choice for personal protection, as well as for use by military officers and law enforcement officials. Despite the popularity of the pinfire revolver, they were eventually phased out in favor of more advanced firearm designs.
Condition: 3 3/8” bore with some moderate pitting and still showing visible rifling. Revolver still retains most of the original nickel finish which has faded over the years, with some light freckling and handling marks . Some pin-prick pitting in spots mostly on the cylinder. Original ornate hard rubber grips rate in very good condition. Mechanically works sporadically . The hammer holds in single action but needs a nudge to drop with the trigger pull . The cylinder seems to rotate in double action most of the time? with the timing just a little bit off. the ejector rod is a little loose. the loading gate locks up tight and folding trigger works as it should. Other than that, it is a nice looking example for it's age.
Today, these revolvers are considered to be collector's items and are highly sought after by firearms enthusiasts and collectors alike. Their historical significance and unique design make them a valuable addition to any collection of antique firearms.
