A very nice cavalry model pin fire revolver, which is a fine example of foreign made double action cartridge pistols that were used by horse soldiers back in the time of the Civil War. This gun is in very good condition and functions a bit loosely, but still quite well considering its age. It has been altered at some point along the way in the same way as were a great many pin fire revolvers. This one has had its loading gate removed, a common enough thing that was done to make reloading the gun a bit easier to do while riding a fast moving horse. The gun bears several matching inspection markings that I believe to be French and also has the Liege of Belgium mark; ELG inside an oval over a star. This gun looks good, works well and will make a great addition to someone's Civil War collection.
PLEASE NOTE: This is a true antique, pre 1898 black powder firearm and as such is considered a collectible antique under Federal Law. Please be aware that some states have differing laws pertaining to old firearms. You are responsible to know the laws of your state of residence before purchasing this or any other antique weapon. Thank you
