Finely Engraved J. Chaineux Lefaucheux Brevete Twelve-Shot Pinfire Double Action Revolver

These "high capacity" pinfire revolvers were manufactured in the mid to late 19th century. Chaineux revolvers with as many as 20 shots are known. This 12-shot example has attractive floral scroll engraving and is marked "CHAINEUX/BTE" on the left of the barrel at the breech and "LEFAUCHEUX/INVRE BREVETE" on the right. The rear face of the cylinder is Liege proofed. The pin front sight is elevated on a triangular base and the hammer has a notch for a rear sight. The ebonized grips are checkered, and a lanyard ring is fitted at the bottom of the butt.

ConditionFine, showing mostly a bright grey patina, having the appearance of being the original finish, with some scattered speckling of brown, a few scattered patches of very light pitting, and crisp engraving. The grips are very fine with a few scattered minor dings and a few scattered mild flat spots in the otherwise crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
