The barrel is “light” and is in the style of models
with more than ten strokes of a
J. Chaineux.
The
markings photographed are few:
Y under
crown: countermark of a controller between 1853 and 1877
G in a

There
should be an ELG on a star in an oval somewhere on the barrel....
The words “ Patent “may relate to the loading door :
Joseph
Lambert Chaineux filed patent 016 035 on
April 14, 1864, which could be the patent for the revolver door presented.
