Description
Very Fine M1853 Lefaucheux 12mm Pinfire Revolver, #33751. This specimen utilizes a 6 1/8" octagon to round barrel. Front sight with a bead surmounting a large triangular base. Gun retains 30% of the original bright blue, the balance smooth and gray with just one small area of light pitting on the left recoil shield. Mechanically perfect, tight and crisp, excellent markings. Grips near perfect retaining much of the original varnish. Imported by both sides during the Civil War, the Lefaucheux was actually the first internally primed metallic cartridge handgun issued to U.S. troops, and "Stonewall" Jackson carried an elaborately engraved model. Choice example of a scarce and interesting Civil War revolver.Auction Info
