Lefaucheux pin-fire revolver in very nice condition. Handgun was designed and produced by the highly acclaimed inventor of European firearms, Eugene Lefaucheux. Referred to as the Model 1854, the Lefaucheux revolver is a single action, standard military caliber arm produced at his licensed production facilities at Liege, Belgium.

The entire surface of the revolver wears a smooth, dark mottled patina. Serial number “11111” is stamped on the right side of the frame under the cylinder. Revolver measures an overall 12” long with a six-shot unrebated cylinder matched to a 6 3/8” long, octagon barrel. Sidearm is a 12mm (.44 caliber) model with a plain cylinder with the six safety cams and the six pin slots. Maker’s mark on the left frame under the cylinder. Bore has good rifling and light dirt.

The iron trigger guard fits the frame and exhibits the distinctive middle finger rest.

Revolver’s grips are two-piece varnished black walnut and in good condition with smooth even wear and no cracking but do have a number of small dings. Buttplate has the metal lanyard ring.

Action works properly.

Cylinder loading gate is intact and functional. Ejection rod is present.
