Lot #1431:
(A) FACTORY ENGRAVED ENGLISH GALAND 8MM DOUBLE ACTION POCKET REVOLVER
Dates to the 1880s. This is a scarce, non-military revolver with the octagon barrel, pinch front sight, rebated cylinder, exposed hammer, and two piece ivory grips. Left side of barrel is stamped "CFG" with crown for Charles Francois Galand. Fine scroll engraving throughout. CONDITION: Very good to fine. While it retains no significant blue , it is a very smooth homogenous patina with strong engraving and crisp edges. Grips are excellent. Mechanically sound retaining a well defined but frosted bore. These small civilian pocket revolvers are rarely seen.
