Product Information

An original large framed Lefaucheux Brevete PinFire Revolver M1854 Cavalry model. The Belgium proof markings date to before 1856. The serial number is relatively low too. The lanyard hoop is most commonly associated with military issued weapons. It has a lovely patina finish and original solid wood grips with the addition of an unusual rear sight fitted. At the outbreak of war in 1861, both the Federal and Confederate governments looked to Europe to supplement insufficient arms inventories, and approximately 14,000 Lefaucheux revolvers were purchased. Of these, 12,000 found their way into Union service and were often used by Union officers. The LeFaucheux was one of the only foreign-manufactured revolvers to have been imported by the U.S. government during the Civil War. They were often referred to as the "French Tranter". Chambered in 12mm, an obsolete calibre it can therefore be owned completely live without any form of license. The action is crisp and tight and it can be cocked, stripped and dry fired.
