Popular among the ruthless Apache gangs of Paris at the end of the nineteenth century these equally ruthless Dolne patent 7mm pinfire revolvers also pack a folding knuckle grip and kris shaped bayonet. This nickel plated steel frame example is unmarked other than a star over "L" Belgian inspector mark. Double action only with a spurless hammer, folding trigger, and 6-shot fluted cylinder. CONDITION: Very fine overall. The vast majority of original nickel finish is retained with some scattered flaking and minor spots of cleaned oxidation, with slightly more loss present on and inside of the knuckles that appears to be from use. Mechanically fine with a slight bend in the bayonet.
