BK Marked Antique European ORNATE GRIP 7.5mm PINFIRE Self-Defense REVOLVER Mid-19th European FOLDING TRIGGER Sidearm
Description: BK Marked Antique European ORNATE GRIP 7.5mm PINFIRE Self-Defense REVOLVER Mid-19th European FOLDING TRIGGER Sidearm Here we present an antique European Pinfire Revolver, made circa 1850. In 1830, notable gun maker and inventor Casimir Lefaucheux invented the pinfire cartridge and patented it in 1835 to become 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. 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. Many makers made both licensed and unlicensed copies. This one features fancy sculpted grips and a bright nickel finish. The overall condition is good. The action is functional though the trigger return spring is weak, necessitating the user to push the trigger forward for reset. The bore is in good shape. The grips are solid and tight. “B.K.” is marked on the left frame. Here is a nice pinfire pistol to collect and display. Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 3-1/4 inches. Caliber: 7.5mm Pinfire 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 $425 #20001 SOLD Antique: Yes |
