Lot #1401:
(A) IMPRESSIVE LEFAUCHEUX 9MM PINFIRE PEPPERBOX.
This pepperbox revolver was made by a Belgian gun manufacturer and has the characteristic Liege proof house marks on the cylinder breech. The cylinder is actually the barrel on this six shot, folding trigger revolver. Two piece checkered walnut grips. The book "Systeme Lefaucheux" by Curtis devotes an entire chapter to these small pepperboxes. The revolver features floral engraving on the frame and cylinder, with a nickel finish on frame and blued cylinder. Checkered walnut grips. CONDITION: The nickel finish on the frame is nearly all intact. It has been cleaned on the underside of frame, forward of the trigger, and shows abrasions. The balance of the frame is bright. The blued cylinder shows nearly all of its finish intact. The bore has fouling and the mechanics are excellent.
