BELGIAN MADE LE PAGE LARGE BORE PINFIRE REVOLVER.

BELGIAN MADE LE PAGE LARGE BORE PINFIRE REVOLVER. SN 2660. Cal. Appears to be 15 mm pinfire. Belgian made 6-shot pinfire revolver with 7-5/16″ rnd bbl, Le Mat style tall front sight and marked on top “Fini Par Le Page a Paris”. Bore has 7 grooves with Metford style rifling. The bbl is uniquely mounted in the style of a Le Mat Grapeshot revolver in that it is threaded onto the cylinder spindle and secured with a screw through the bbl lug into the frame. Given the similarities in construction, one could surmise that the same folks who built the Le Mat revolvers in Belgium are probably responsible for this revolver. Cyl is unfluted with raised external cyl stops. Revolver is dbl action and sgl action and made without ejector rod. Right side of recoil shield has a swinging loading gate. Mounted with checkered & carved 2-pc walnut grips and has a lanyard swivel in the butt cap. Cyl has the “ELG” in a circle Belgian proof along with another proof mark. This is the style & type of revolver that could have been used by a member of the Confederacy during the Civil War. CONDITION: Fine. Traces of orig blue remain in the gullets of the bbl lug with the balance of the steel parts cleaned to bright metal with fine pin prick pitting on the cyl. Mechanics are crisp, brilliant shiny bore, has seen very little use, just poor storage. 4-41141 JR254 (3,000-5,000)
