Civil War–era Lefaucheux Model 1854 Revolver, serial number 32117, 12mm pinfire, 6.25″ barrel with a very good bore that has some dark freckling within the grooves. This is a so-called ‘cavalry’ model revolver with trigger guard spur and has an overall mildly freckled pewter gray patina with some specks of very light pinprick pitting along the cylinder face and traces of the original bright blue at the extreme rear of the cylinder where the metal was protected by the recoil shield. The Lefaucheux ‘opened pistol’ trademark over “LF” stamps are crisp and clear on the right side of the revolver while the football-shaped manufacturer's marking on the left side of the frame is still clearly legible. The French walnut grips are in very good condition with numerous small handling marks and blemishes in the original oil finish on both sides. There are two very small chips at the toe of the grips on either side. The mechanism is tight and functions flawlessly. This Lefaucheux falls towards the tail end the Civil War serial range, making it a desirable example of a fully functional Civil War–era pinfire revolver. Accompanied by six rounds of assorted pinfire ammunition (three 12mm shorts, one 12mm long, and two 9mm).
