Re: France Pinfire
1867-68 French pinfire what? By 1867-68 pinfires were already semi-obsolete.
There are the large caliber Lefaucheux pinfire revolvers imported during the Civil War, a zillion small caliber pinfire pocket revolvers, pinfire shotguns and rifles... |

Re: France Pinfire
Thanks for the reply. They do make great wall hangers with those nice brass bayonets hanging on them..I suppose maybe the blades are worth more than the rifles?.

Re: France Pinfire
Ah, so what you have is French Chassepot needle-fire rifles, not pinfires! And they do have bayonets with brass handles..
One without the bayonet sold on auction recently for $600. Another with $649 minimum bid listed 3 times with no bids. Last edited by hrf; 08-08-2012 at 06:26 PM.. |

Lefaucheux numbres LF xxxx
Hello to you
 For years I received questions about the numbers on the weapons LF Like on the pictures     While many people claim that there is no logic in the numbering, I am convinced otherwise. The challenge for 2013 will be to try to establish a list of numbers large enough for all models manufactured in Paris and draws a logic. Thank you to send me, if you want to participate and by PM or emaillefaucheux54@yahoo.fr your numbers, the location of that number and a little description of the LF models you have. Thank you in advance LF |
