BRONZE PINFIRE GUNS For over 15 years I collected and studied Bronze Pinfire Guns. They ranged from the large 12MM revolvers to as small as 5MM revolvers. Most of the Bronze Pinfire Guns were 7MM revolvers and 7MM pepperboxes . The revolver shown below is one of the pieces from the collection.

12 MM Bronze Pinfire Revolver has beautiful deep chiseled floral engraving on the cylinder, frame and barrel. The condition of this gun is near mint condition except the hammer is missing. The previous owner of this bronze pinfire revolver found a small piece of the bottom of a bronze hammer inside the gun. Probably what happened was the gun was fired only a few times when the bronze hammer broke off. This is why the gun is in near mint condition unlike most bronze 12MM revolvers found that are in poor to good condition. The action is tight and functions fine except there is no hammer The barrel is 6.1 inches long and the over all length of the revolver is 11 inches. Grips are checkered wood and are mint condition. The over all condition of this hard to find 12MM bronze pinfire revolver is near mint (except no hammer). Most of the large 12mm bronze pinfires guns that I found were in poor to low good condition because of hard use.
MARKINGS: Liege Belgian Proof mark and inspector's mark, crown over the letter U, are located on the cylinder. The inspector's mark looks like a J stamp but under magnification it is a U stamp. With this type of inspector mark, the gun was made before 1877.
