Antique CIVIL WAR Era Brescian GLISENTI Single Action PINFIRE 11mm Revolver Revolver used by UNION & CONFEDERATE Soldiers
Description: Antique CIVIL WAR Era Brescian GLISENTI Single Action PINFIRE 11mm Revolver Revolver used by UNION & CONFEDERATE Soldiers Here we present an antique Italian Glisenti Single Action Pinfire Revolver, made by G. Glisenti circa 1861-73 in Brescia, Italy. This style of single action pinfire revolver was quite a favorite with soldiers during the American Civil War. It was quite superior in many ways to contemporaneous American designs, most of which were still using the percussion firing system, of which Colt, Remington and Starr were the largest contractors. The biggest exception to that was Smith & Wesson’s No. 2 “Old Army” Revolver, but that was chambered for a relatively small .32 Rimfire metallic cartridge. This very early design included a case with ball, powder and primer, but what made it different 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. 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. The overall condition is very good. Excellent action. Mostly bright bore with strong rifling. “SD” is stamped on the top right grip. Both grips contain a thin stable crack and are good overall with average wear. Markings are sharp. Lgiht gray patina. Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 6-1/4 inches. Caliber: 11mm Overall condition as seen in photos. Very Fast. Very Safe. FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE. Delivered directly to your door by express mail! Guaranteed AUTHENTIC & Includes CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY. ancestryguns $1200 #251017 Antique: Yes Price: $1,200.00 Buy Now Pay with
