Lot #1380:
(A) ENGRAVED BELGIAN 18-SHOT DOUBLE BARREL PINFIRE REVOLVER.
This fascinating 19th century high capacity double action revolver was manufactured in Belgium although is unsigned. Much like the E. Lefaucheux patent 20-shot revolvers, it has superposed barrels which are fired in an alternating order from a 2-row cylinder. Barrel has engraved flourishes at the muzzle and octagon breech section. Cylinder, frame, trigger guard, and back strap are engraved with grape leaves. 2-piece ebony grips also carved with grape leaves. CONDITION: Very Good. Barrels have a mellow salt and pepper patina with a few flashes of blue. Action also retrains string traces of blue, the balance fading to patina. Left grip has a sliver of loss along the back strap. Bores are mostly bright. Fine mechanics.
