Collector Information Page

BRONZE PINFIRE GUNS Over the last 15 years I have 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.

Change Purse opens from both sides

Rare 5MM Bonze Pinfire Revolver is beautifully fine engraved with scroll design on cylinder and frame. In 15 years of hunting for bronze pinfire guns, this is the only 5MM pinfire I found and it came from a collector in Australia. The hammer and trigger has 75% of the original blue remaining. The revolver is in near mint condition and it functions like a new gun. The barrel is 2.5 inches long and the over all length is 4.7 inches. This pinfire is French style fitted into a change purse with a small cartridge compartment. The leather coverd change purse opens up one was for change (or other items) and opens from the other side for the revolver. The 5.7-inch by 3.2-inch purse in in good condition with only a few nicks. MARKINGS: Liege Belgian Proof mark and inspector's mark, crown over the letter T, are located on the cylinder and inspector's mark is also located on the right of barrel frame. With this type of inspector mark, the gun was made before 1877.
