LORON Pierre Antoine
And here is another.
It is beautiful, no? Me I find it superb!!
Belgian revolver pinfire of Loron about 1865, caliber 7 mm.
Octagonal barrel with rail, length 100 mm. Overall length 190 mm, five shots, double action.
On the left side with the back of the barrel the mention “Loron/Breveté” is reproduced.
The weapon is partially patinated, all the parts are covered with engraving of vine leaf in hollow at gilded bottom.
Pierre Antoine Loron made in 1865 in Liege, with his weapon for ammunition with pin, competes with the Lefaucheux system. With the Loron Revolver, by a rotation of 90 degrees of the stem located on the left, the barrel and the cylinder can slide forwards. This system gives the access easier to the cylinder and facilitates the loading and the unloading of the weapon. The stem in question can be also used to eject the casings in the case or this one would not leave easily all alone.
