Lefaucheux Eugène
Revolver calibre 7 mm pinfire double action
manufactured by Eugène Lefaucheux.
LF 15569
is, according to my classification, part of the 6th Amendment (which has 8
amendments).
-
cylinder with stops around him.
- loading
door with a lip allowing easy pinching of the opening spring.
- barrel
directly screwed on the central axis.
The 6th
modification is located between LF 15407 and LF 22295 with a constancy starting
from LF 16051 (between 15407 and 16051 it is a mixture between the screw shifted
on the axis and the direct screwing on the axis).
This 6th
amendment extends from January 1862 to September 1862 and represents about 20%
of the production of the 7 mm DA.
Considering that the LF 15569 is in the beginning of modification, it can be
estimated that it was manufactured around mid-January 1862.
In Paris, 104 rue Lafayette.
