LePAGE FRERE of PARIS Marked DOUBLE ACTION Revolver
Here we present an antique Celestin Dandoy Manufactured, LePage Retailed Adams Patent Double Action Only Percussion Revolver, made circa 1851-56 in Liege, Belgium. Dandoy was a renowned gunmaker and alderman in the city of Liege and played a vital role in the creation of “Manufacture Liegeoise d’armes a Feu” (Manufactory of Liege Firearms). In 1866 he became the first director of the arsenal and continued until his death in 1870. This example is retailer marked “LePage Frere A Paris”. LePage was a firearms manufacturer and retailer in Paris, France beginning in 1716 and continuing under the same family name until 1913.
Robert Adams is credited with patenting the first successful double action revolver in 1851. The Adams revolvers were initially double action only. They were well-received among professionals in the 1850s and served with the British East India Company, with British military officers, and were eventually popular among officers in the South during the American Civil War in the early 1860s, imported from Europe.
From 1853-1856 Adams Revolvers saw use by the British during the Crimean War. One quote from a soldier who was there is impossible to leave out. Writing to Robert Adams he said, “I had one of your largest sized Revolver Pistols at the bloody battle of Inkermann, and by some chance got surrounded by the Russians. I then found the advantages of your pistol over that of Colonel Colt's, for had I to cock before each shot I should have lost my life. I should not have had time to cock, as they were too close to me, being only a few yards from me; so close that I was bayoneted through the thigh immediately after shooting the fourth man.” Also, during the Crimean War, an officer by the name of Lt. Frederick E. B. Beaumont of the Royal Engineers made design improvements which allowed the shooter to fire in single action in addition to double action, and let Adams utilize his patents. This was the precursor of the action that we still prefer to use today in our modern defensive revolver!
This one has the Adams Patent marking on the side of the frame next to the LePage Freres A Paris retailer marking. The maker’s mark is on the top and reads “MANUFD BY C. DANDOY LICENSED BY DEANE ADAMS & DEANE LONDON”. Designed and patented in London, England, made in Liege, Belgium, and sold in Paris, France: Truly a cosmopolitan revolver!
The overall condition is fine. Excellent action. Dim bore with visible rifling. Bright, and original finish. Sharp markings. The front sight post has broken off at some point in time. The grip has little handling wear and nice checkering remains. Numbers match.
