Well-functioning six-shot antique cartridge revolver, 19th century, Vehmaa

From the collection: a nicely working, rarer six-shot percussion cartridge revolver, c. 1880.

Genuine, no acquisition licence required.

Works with black powder cartridges.

Length about 20 cm and calibre about 7 mm.

The mechanism works like new!

May be in firing condition!

Good rifling and no play in the mechanism!

The chamber rims are like new!

Clicks nicely!

Strikes firmly!

Cylinder bears French and Belgian proof marks — a rarer double-proofed piece?

Black grip panels, possibly ebony or similar.

Fairly heavy.

The loading gate is of the heavier type seen on percussion military revolvers from the 1860s.

Trigger-guardless model, folding trigger.

Marks/stamps.

Worth coming to see and marvel at how well this works!
