Auguste Francotte Large Relief Engraved Lefaucheux Double Action 11mm Pinfire Revolver Ebony Grips NICE!
Description: Fine & Large Auguste Francotte, Liege, Belgium Relief Engraved Lefaucheux Double Action Revolver with Ebony Grips, 11mm Pinfire, mfg. circa 1870. Pictures don't do this gun justice! It is a very impressive high quality pistol in fantastic original condition. Auguste Francotte was of course one of the premier Belgian makers of fine arms throughout the 19th century and large caliber Lefaucheux style revolvers such as this were immensely popular among both American and European military officers. The pistol measures 11" long overall and features a 6" octagon barrel with an integral raised rib and topstrap fitted with a dovetailed high-blade front sight and standing single leaf rear. The gun is profusely engraved in relief style floral patterns with Lefaucheux's patent "LF" stamped under the forward portion of the frame and Auguste Francotte's Crown over "AF" proof struck on the frame and cylinder along with additional Liege markings. The finish has mostly thinned to gray with some bright bluing remaining within protected areas of the frame ahead of the cylinder. The surfaces are smooth with sharp edges and engraving throughout. The original checkered ebony grips fit perfect and show only light wear with no cracks, chips, or marring. Original hammer, trigger, screws, lanyard ring, loading gate, and cartridge extractor rod with spring retainer. The loading gate swings open and snaps shut like a vault. The action is flawlessly crisp in both single and double action and functions perfectly. Excellent bore with clean sharp seven-groove rifling front to back and only a couple tiny oxidation spots that should remove with a quick cleaning. There is even still bright bluing within the grooves! Weight is on the somewhat hefty side at 2 lbs 7 oz. You just don't see this size, quality, and condition very often - easily the nicest pinfire revolver we have offered in some time! Jeremiah Johnson Trading sells antique firearms manufactured prior to 1899 and muzzleloading blackpowder reproductions only. For the purpose of these conditions the term "antique firearm" will hence include muzzleloading blackpowder reproductions. Buyers must be 21 years of age or older and have no felony convictions to purchase antique firearms. Antique firearms do not require Federal licensing and may be shipped directly to the buyer with the following exceptions. No antique firearms will be shipped to Washington D. C. or any of the five boroughs of New York City (or residents thereof). Some restrictions may apply to antique firearms shipped to California and will be noted in the item description if applicable. Any handgun (antique or muzzleloading blackpowder reproduction) shipped to New Jersey must ship to a licensed FFL holder. Any muzzleloading blackpowder reproduction rifle, shotgun, or handgun shipped to Illinois must ship to an FFL holder. No international sales of antique firearms which may fire conventional metallic cartridges or any reproductions regardless of ignition. Antique muzzleloaders, or antiques which fire obsolete cartridges, may be shipped internationally however it is the responsibility of the buyer to know and abide by their local laws and provide proof that the antique arm is legal to receive and own. Payment can be made by money order, banker's check, personal check, or credit card (no fees). Please allow 7-10 business days for clearance on personal checks. If paying by credit card please call us directly to process your order. If not satisfied with an item within 3 days of receiving it, simply return the item in the same condition as shipped for a full refund, minus return shipping costs. Cleaning, disassembly, or altering of a firearm in any way will void inspection privileges. Layaway may be allowed upon negotiation, but will void inspection privileges. Buyer pays actual shipping & insurance costs. Occasionally a post-1898 firearm from my personal collection may be sold under this account however it will be noted that any such transaction is a personal sale in no way affiliated with our business. Any such arm will be shipped to a licensed FFL or C&R holder in accordance with Federal law. All firearms are sold as collector's items and are not warranted safe for shooting. Please consult a competent gunsmith prior to shooting any firearm. Message or call with any questions about this firearm, or any of our other items at 860-873-1092 (office) or 860-345-2100 (shop).
