Good Le Faucheux Revolver

This is an extremely good Le Faucheux pinfire revolver in 9 mm pinfire calibre (Obsolete) this is one of the finest pinfire revolvers I've handled and as usual there is superb bluing on the cylinder and the barrel which the photographs do not do justice to. This revolver has seen little if any use and will cock, lock and index as the day it was made. The loading gate spring is very tight, another indication of little use and the revolver has excellent grips. Unusually this revolver has a trigger guard, most are seen with drop down triggers. Liege proofs indicate manufacture between 1860 and 1870 and of course the Liege proof exceeded British proofs- they did not make much rubbish. Le Faucheux revolvers were high quality and were exported in quantity to the USA during the Civil War. If you wanted a representative example of a pin fire revolver, you couldn't do better than this one.
