LARGE FRAME ENGRAVED BELGIAN REVOLVER WITH PRESENTATION WITH PRESENTATION.

LARGE FRAME ENGRAVED BELGIAN REVOLVER WITH PRESENTATION WITH PRESENTATION. A most interesting European fancy military style revolver with a wonderful presentation hand engraved on a silver-plate on the butt, which reads: “Presented to Captain Paxton, by Colonel Lapinski, as a mark of his Gratitude, for the Loyalty and Sympathy displayed by him in the cause in which he was engaged 1863”. Consignor believes that the presentation is a Confederate one. This fine revolver and its presentation are worth extensive research. I could find no immediate reference to a Captain Paxton.

The iron backstrap is also engraved. 2-pc walnut grips with scallop shell design and checker. The presentation plaque is of silver and mounted on the butt of the gun. The top bbl flat is engraved “F. Kinapen A’Liege”. The gun has Belgian proof marks and “10” stamped on various parts. CONDITION: Fine. Bbl and cylinder retains about 80% of its orig blue finish. Frame is dark gray and is mechanically excellent. 4-57247 (2,500-5,000)
