ENGRAVED Euro Double Barrel SxS Pinfire Revolver
Description: ENGRAVED Euro Double Barrel SxS Pinfire Revolver 10mm FOLDING TRIGGER Pistol with Carved EBONY Grip Here we present an antique European Pinfire Double Barrel Pistol, made circa 1850. This pistol was made for self-defense in 19th Century Europe. It was designed to be short, handy, and powerful with an overall length that would easily fit in a pocket, triggers that folded out of the way, and 10mm chambering. The triggers descended as the hammers were cocked, and both barrels could be fired at once or one at a time. Very much like a shotgun in design, the lever underneath swivels to lock or unlock the barrels, which tip up for loading. The pinfire cartridge was one of the very first successful metallic, self-contained cartridges in history. It was invented by Frenchman Casimir Lefaucheux, and he was granted a patent in the mid-1830s. This predates the invention of rimfire by about 10 years. Aside from being first, the pinfire cartridge was not primed on the back of the cartridge, but had a pin (basically a firing pin) projecting out of the side of the cartridge. Thus the firearms made for this early cartridge had flat hammers that struck the cartridge from the top, as the pin would project out of a small hole in the chamber. The first revolver to shoot these ingenious cartridges was Casimir’s son Eugene Gabriel Lefaucheux in 1854. The design was hugely successful and many European militaries adopted them. The design was also licensed to many firms, especially in Belgium, but many were also made in France, Spain and Germany. This example features a finely engraved frame, triggers and lever. The grip appears to be carved and fluted ebony, a very hard and dark wood. The overall condition is fine. The engraved, carving and fluting are still sharp and clear. Grips are excellent. The bores are fine and shiny. The action is excellent and the lockup is strong. Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 6-1/4 inches in length. Caliber: 10mm Pinfire Bore is in fine condition and shiny. The firearm is in excellent working order. Overall condition as seen in photos. Here is a fantastic late 19th Century European revolver! Very Fast. Very Safe. FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE. Delivered directly to your door by express mail!
