Presented here is a M1854 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 patina with some faint case colors remaining on frame and buttplate. Serial number “36274” is stamped on the left side where the frame meets barrel. Revolver measures an overall 12” long with a six-shot unrebated cylinder matched to a 6 3/8” long, round 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 facet of barrel is good to strong. Cylinder also has light inspection marks. 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 in good condition with smooth even wear and no cracking but do have a number of small dings. Buttplate has the metal lanyard ring.

Hammer stops but does not hold half-cock. Works properly at full cock.

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

A unique cavalry sidearm that was used by many during the Civil War.  [ad]
