Jugulater: I greatly appreciate the warning. On the continent of Europe the revolver was looked on as a close-range emergency measure. As you will see, it is quite a bit shorter than your adapter. This is a picture I took of the cartridge, certified by the owners, in the Musée de la Marine in Paris. 450-222-heel mould which might suit if the heel diameter is right. I don't believe any pinfire had a stepped chamber, so if you want to use an elongated bullet, a heel it must have. If you have a habit of laying a pistol down sharply on the table, you soon won't have. The sight of those percussion caps sticking out, if you make more of them, should remind us that any pinfire revolver needs handling with care. Even if it is a private-purchase or Belgian one, it is about as good as pinfire revolvers get.įortunately the pin slot is big enough to admit a good-sized stovepipe. It wouldn't, in this case, be cheap in its country of origin, where they are keenly collected, and quite a bit rarer than the 1873 centrefire. (The civilian Lefaucheux were usually joined together at the lower front of the frame.) If so it should have two single-letter round cartouches on the left side of the barrel, an anchor on the buttcap, and in the same place, if it reached a warship, its rack number on the ship. That is an extremely nice Lefaucheux, and I can see no difference from the French 1858 naval revolver.
