Lefaucheux pinfire revolver - 11/16/19 02:47 AM
I recently came into possession of this old beauty. It's a pinfire revolver, still in working condition. Double action but I'm not sure of the caliber. Not that it would matter, ammo for pinfires or s incredibly expensive. But it's still kind of a neat gun.
It's got a lot of engraving, and it's got an inscription on top of the barrel, no idea what it says though.
The coolest part is that it came with a leather holster that even has a retention device. It's got a little metal tab that secures the trigger guard. The gun safety standards must have been a little looser back in the day; to remove the gun from the holster you have to put you finger on the trigger and push the the metal tab in. Granted, the trigger pull on the thing is like 20 pounds, but still. Kinda quirky.
