Deluxe Pin-Fire Revolver 11 MM

Deluxe Pin-Fire Revolver 11 MM - Inventory Number: HAN 286

Profusely engraved with birdshead grip and lanyard ring. The Lefaucheux pinfire system revolvers were very popular private purchase items during the U.S. Civil War, particularly for Confederate officers, who did not have access to the pistols produced by the North. They had to turn to imported firearms for their sidearm, and the pinfire pistol was one of the best out there at the time. These private purchase examples were more heavily ornamented than the military issue, and issued in double action as opposed to single. They were available in various different calibers ranging from the large 11 and 12 mm down to 7mm or so.
