Look up Lefaucheux Pin Fires... Notice their Exhorbitant Prices - then look at my $ 880.00

Read this excerpt taking from the Internet:
In 1862 President Lincoln commissioned Marcellus Hartley, a partner in the New York firearm-importing firm of Schuyler, Hartley & Graham, to supply the Union with French Lefaucheux revolvers and ammunition. The Lefaucheux was to become the fourth most commonly used revolver in the American Civil War, surpassed only by the Colt, Remington and Starr percussion pistols.

There are no Imperfections in the Metal - these are Proofs/Stamps/Markings. I noticed the pics seem to show a few areas here or there.. These arent gouges/etc

Nice gun. Seen one on Red Jacket last night. Almost impossible to find ammo for it though. (You gotta make it). Would you by any chance have any pinfire ammo to go along with it? Either way awesome gun GLWS.

I believe the one on Sons of Guns was a 21 shot. Is this one as well.

The one on Sons of Guns was a 20 shot. This one does not appear to be, but would shoot the same type of ammo I believe.

Just plain cool. Neat piece.

Yeah - this one doesnt shoot 20 rounds.... That must have been one of the Double Row Cylinder models... More of a Novelty than a shooter.
Believe it or not, pin fire ammo isnt THAT hard to find... Ive located several sources... Not going to tell you it cheap, but what Antique ammo is...?? * As mentioned, some people make their own... The Blastcap is located on the inside and the pin pushes it when the trigger hits the pin... BOOM - thats it...

How cool is this, that President Abraham Lincoln ordered the commission of these firearms into the Civil War.... This gun is apart of our American Heritage... Not to mention they arent easy to find... This gun is priced so cheap someone should slap me..... ( Locating guns like these takes alot of luck-time... Ask my wife ) Are you looking at Guns again... uggggg
If anyone had Longterm Investment in mind, pay attention to the guns i post on ODT.... Id bet my reputation that you can make significant interest on these firearms over the years.... Look at my feedback. Not an unhappy person yet... HIgh Quality-Collector Grade-Firearms of all Types..... Chandlee312

If any member on here is looking for a Specific Antique - email me.... Their is a whole sleuw of stuff that cant go on here... Generally, $ 1000 and over is pushing the limits on here... If a $ 3500 Winchester went on here, it would never sell.... A select few members have become good friends... They typically snatch up the majority quickly...
