Bayet Frères
Cal. 9 mm pinfire
Belgian Lefaucheux pinfire revolver. Light, floral style engravings with worn gold inlays on the cylinder, barrel, grip, loading gate, trigger guard and frame. Medium size frame. Single and double action. Solid frame design with a cylinder bridge. The left side of the barrel displays following markings, "Bayet F-res Brevete". "Crown over G", "Crown over L" and Liege proof are stamped on the cylinder. The entire frame and barrel are machined from one piece of steel, which is quite uncommon. Interesting design of the cylinder rod, with the spring operated locking mechanism. Six-chamber cylinder. Barrel length: 118mm.
