That gun was made by LeFaucheaux, of Paris, and is not a copy. I'd absolutely love any information I could get on this gun or this type of gun, including some rough estimate of what the value is for insurance purposes.

The serial number is 3112.Īccording to another elderly family member, it belonged to one of my grandfather's great-uncles. This is marked as a LeFaucheaux Pinfire Revolver, with my grandfather's notes stating it was used in the Civil War. The Springfield Research Service serial number books list the serial numbers for 69 Lefaucheux revolvers that were in the possession of Company B of the 9th Missouri State Militia Cavalry during 1863. So, now I'm trying to find out what I can - I have no intention of selling any of the guns, this is for my family's information (and for insurance purposes) only. My father probably did know something about the guns, but since no one in the family knew he had them no one ever asked him. The tags are in my grandfather's handwriting he was born in 1892 and died in the 1940s, so unless someone has a Ouija board handy I can't ask him for more information. › ▼ ▼ ▼ Lefaucheux Revolver Serial Numbers ▼ ▼ ▼Īs in my other posts let me preface this by saying that I inherited a small collection of firearms and I'm clueless about what these are except for those few which have tags attached to them.
