Uniquely Cased Engraved French Pinfire Revolver

The revolver shows no visible markings. The frame and grip straps are engraved with roses and geometric designs, the cylinder is engraved with a star and floral leaf design and floral scroll on the back of the hammer and underside, front of the frame. Dovetailed ramped bead front sight, made without a rear sight, folding trigger, ejector rod mounted on the right side of the frame, and fitted with smooth two piece walnut grips. Complete in a canvas covered wooden box with a brass plaque on the lid. Brass tacks and blue velvet lining.

ConditionVery good. The barrel retains 20% of the original blue finish mainly on the muzzle end around the front sight, in the protected areas at the breech end and on the lug. The balance of the metal surfaces have a smooth mottled silver gray patina. The grips are fine with 90% varnish, some wear on the lower edges and a few scattered minor dings and dents. The engraving is crisp. The action is excellent. The case is very good with some wear on the edges, heavier on the bottom. The lining shows some contact wear.
