My name is Ben Peters, and I am an American history teacher, who recently received a beautiful Lefaucheux pinfire revolver as a gift! I found your website while trying to research it, and was wondering if you might be able to help me identify it further (I've learned a lot from your website already)

Crowned ELG in oval. Controller's Y-mark with star, both on cylinder

Second controller's Y-mark. Crowned R, because the barrel is rifled

Serial number 4486, third controller’s Y-mark, above trigger on right-side.

'21' stamped on trigger

'EF' stamped under cylinder on left-side 

‘6’ and ‘1’ stamped on front (barrel-side) of cylinder

 Smith’s name? Incomplete stamp. Possibly: EaiGiollieu.Sorn 

Thank you so much for your time!

Hello Sir,

 Recently I bought this musket on an auction in the UK, originally Ithought it was a Musket M1815 Model N°2 with an adapted front sight but now that I have it in hand and have measured the barrel it isn’t.

Barrel lenght, exactly 103cm.

Total lenght 144cm.

Proofs on the barrel (according to me):

Fancy style JD under crown: J.Dofflin

IS: J.Schneider

1815: date of production.

M1815 (barely visible): model identification.

HS in an ovale: for me unknown.

Proof on the lock:

S 22 under crown: B.Saltzherr in 1822

Proofs on almost all metal parts:

GB under crown: Gueriot de Belseaux ?

17 a serialnumber? Three times on the metal parts.

The stock has no proofs or marks. I have used the book “Nederlandse vuurwapens 1813-1866” by Martens & de Vries.

Can you please help me with the identification?

And was it is issued to the Army of the Netherlands or perhaps made for export or the civilian market?

The non standard front sight is also a mystery for me.

I’am not a specialist firearms collector, this one is a bit out of my comfort zone, all assistance is greatly appreciated!

Kind Regards,

Peter Van Uffelen

La brisure du canon se fait en pivotant la garde de détente d'un quart de tour vers la gauche.

L'unique détente fait percuter d'abord le chien de droite puis celui de gauche.

Le calibre est +- 9mm.

Le chien frappe sur la petite pièce pivotante au dessus du canon et percute le haut de la munition, c'est donc une percussion annulaire.

L'arme est munie d'un extracteur.

Manifestement les plaquettes ne sont pas d'origine.
