Manufacturer: Unknown
Model: Pinfire
Type: Revolver
Gauge: 12 mm pinfire
Barrel: 6 inch octagon
Finish: blue
Grip: walnut
Stock:
Item Views: 1029
Serial Number:
Catalog Page: 47
Class: Antique
Description:

No maker markings with a "crown/AF" proof on the cylinder, frame and barrel lug with "LF" stamped on the underside of the barrel lug and "Liege ELG" and "crown/G" proof on the cylinder. Floral craved walnut grips stamped "3P / 11" on the back of both panels. Vine and leaf engraving on the cylinder frame sides, trigger guard, back strap, and breech end of barrel and barrel lug. Ejector rod on the right side, fixed sights, and lanyard ring on the butt.

Rating Definition:

Very good. 20% of the original blue remains on the barrel lug and loading gate and traces of blue remain in the protected areas overall, with the balance a smooth brown-gray patina. The engraving is crisp and clear. The grips are excellent with a few very minor handling marks and a gouge (left panel near the bottom). The carving is good. Mechanically fine.

Rating Definition:

Good. The revolver has a mottled gray patina with a clear and crisp engraving. The grips are fine with a few hairline age cracks near the bottoms and some minor scratches. The ivory has an attractive grain pattern.
