Stevens P.
This is a common Lefaucheux pinfire revolver.
It bears the statutory stamps of the proofhouse of Liège attesting to its
Belgian and non-French origin, namely:
ELG* in an oval without crown: acceptance, in use from 1846 to 1893.
Crowned Y: countermark of the controller, in use from 1853 to 1877.
The weapon bears the trademark of the patented
inventor
Eugène Lefaucheux
and the trademark
PS crowned
undeniably the trademark of the Liège manufacturer. It could possibly be
Stevens P.
(BE 1858/1872) who may still need to be better defined.
