Good Civil War Lefaucheaux patent pinfire revolver

This is a very good military pinfire 12 mm Lefaucheaux patent revolver.
Originally supplied in the "white" the revolver cocks locks and fires in both single and double action. The side loading gate has a tight spring mechanism that is still extant.
This revolver was sourced in the USA and is a typical and decent example of one of the thousands that were imported by the Southern Confederate States before and during the Civil War.
The pinfire system was at its height of popularity at this time and was truly a transitional system between cap and ball revolvers and metallic centre fire revolvers that were soon to follow.

A decent revolver at a reasonable price that has not been messed with.
