DESCRIPTION: Beautifully preserved, large frame Dutch M.1873 Old Model army revolver in 9.4 mm caliber. The revolver was adopted by Dutch army in 1873 and was manufactured by several Dutch gun makers. This particular revolver was manufactured by Werkplaatsen voor Draagbare Wapenen (WDW) in Delft prior to 1896, as indicated by lack of the maker's markings on the right side of the frame (see: "Die Militarrevolver der Niederlande 1856-1940" by H.E.Harder and W.A.Dreschler, p.88). Only 4250 of such revolvers were manufactured by this maker in Delft. The "Old Model" revolvers had an octagonal barrel and a serial number with no prefix (as opposed to "New Model" revolvers, that had a round barrel and a letter prefix in front of the serial number). The serial number is stamped on the left side of the barrel, close to the frame. All matching serial numbers. There are several proofs on the barrel, frame and cylinder, "IB", "Crown over H", "Crown over X", etc. All kinds of other Dutch military proofs are present on various metal parts. Nice hardwood grips with a cartouche displaying a king Willem III royal letter and a date of production, "Crown over W, 1887". Complete with a lanyard ring. CONDITION: Near mint. 99% of original, crisp blue finish is still on metal. Most of the finish wear is on the sharp edges of the front part of the barrel. Bore is in excellent+ condition, with strong and shiny rifling. Chambers are also in excellent+ condition. Strong action. All the markings and numbers are clearly visible on the metal. All the internal parts of the revolver are in excellent to near mint condition, with no visible wear. The hardwood grips are in excellent condition with some minor handling marks. Scarce and attractive Dutch military revolver! Antique. Serial# 57XX. (Ref.: "Geschichte und Technik der europaischen Militarrevolver" by Rolf H. Muller, pp. 612-613, also in "Die Militarrevolver der Niederlande 1856-1940" by H.E.Harder and W.A.Dreschler, pp.79-102).

Scarce French Remington Rolling Block Type Pistol Caliber: 11 mm French Ordnance Revolver M.1873 (Army) Price: $1275 Inventory # apc_0243 Pictures:	DESCRIPTION: Scarce French Remington Rolling Block type pistol intended for the civilian market. The pistol shows neither a maker address, nor proof markings. The caliber seems to be 11 mm French Ordnance. Based on the caliber and on the excellent quality of the machining and metal finish, I suspect that the pistol was manufactured in France (although Switzerland also comes to my mind...). The style of the barrel and the grip is definitely European. The rolling block mechanism is of excellent quality. I suspect that the pistol was designed to fire a low pressure 11 mm black powder cartridge and it should not be used with any other cartridge. Handsome hardwood grips with diamond checkering. Half round, half octagonal barrel. The barrel has a blue finish, while all the remaining parts of the pistol display nice case coloring. CONDITION: Fine, with 80% of original finish on metal. The case coloring is somewhat worn. The blue finish on the barrel is nicely preserved. The bore is in good to very good condition. The rifling is somewhat worn and the walls are displaying some cleaning (?) marks/scratches. There is no rust in the bore. The action works fine. Wooden grips are in excellent condition with some minor handling marks. Complete with lanyard ring. Antique. Very attractive Remington Rolling Block type pistol!
Scarce Le Page Retailed French M.1874 Chamelot Delvigne Commercial Revolver with German WWI Style Shoulder Holster Caliber: 11 mm French Ordnance Revolver M.1873 (Army) Price: $1975 Inventory # apc_0203 Pictures:	DESCRIPTION: Scarce French M.1874 Chamelot Delvigne revolver intended for the civilian market. The revolver was retailed by Le Page, as indicated by markings on the barrel, "Faure Le Page a Paris" (please, see pictures). The revolver comes with a very scarce Imperial German World War One style officer shoulder holster. This may indicate that the revolver was privately purchased from Le Page by a German officer, who carried it during the World War One. The holster was custom made for this particular revolver (fits perfectly!). The wear on the revolver and holster indicate that the two were together for a very long time (a Great War bring back?). Externally, M.1874 commercial revolver is almost identical with French officer M.1874 revolver (except for the markings). Careful examination of the internal parts may reveal that they are not interchangeable with the military revolver parts. In fact, some of the M.1874 commercial revolvers have slightly different mechanism than M.1874 officer revolvers. The revolver was designed to fire a low pressure 11 mm black powder cartridge and should not be used with any other cartridge. Fluted cylinder. Fancy checkering on the hammer and loading gate. Matching serial numbers. Very high quality of machining and metal finish. Handsome, black hardwood grips with diamond checkering (ebony?). Chamelot Delvigne was one of the most reliable revolvers of 1870-s. CONDITION: Fine, with 86% of original, slightly thinning blue finish on metal. Blue is turning to brownish color in some places (mostly on the hilt and trigger guard). Occasional spots of light patina and/or peppering. Fading case coloring on the hammer, trigger and loading gate. The bore is in excellent condition, with strong and shiny rifling. Cylinder chambers are in fine condition. The action works fine. All the markings and numbers are clearly visible on metal. Wooden grips are in excellent condition with some minor handling marks. Complete with lanyard ring. Holster is in fine condition. The leather is still soft and flexible. Original stitching. Antique. Very attractive World War One rig! Serial# 175XX. (Ref. "Military Handguns of France" by Eugene Medlin and Jean Huon., pp. 35, also in "Les Revolvers Militaires Francais" by Henri Vuillemin, p.123).

About 1.000 Raphael revolvers were purchased on the commercial market by the federal government during the Civil War.

Scarce French Remington Rolling Block Type Pistol Caliber: 11 mm French Ordnance Revolver M.1873 (Army) Price: $1275 Inventory # apc_0243 Pictures:	DESCRIPTION: Scarce French Remington Rolling Block type pistol intended for the civilian market. The pistol shows neither a maker address, nor proof markings. The caliber seems to be 11 mm French Ordnance. Based on the caliber and on the excellent quality of the machining and metal finish, I suspect that the pistol was manufactured in France (although Switzerland also comes to my mind...).

I suspect that the pistol was designed to fire a low pressure 11 mm black powder cartridge and it should not be used with any other cartridge. Handsome hardwood grips with diamond checkering. Half round, half octagonal barrel. The barrel has a blue finish, while all the remaining parts of the pistol display nice case coloring. CONDITION: Fine, with 80% of original finish on metal. The case coloring is somewhat worn. The blue finish on the barrel is nicely preserved. The bore is in good to very good condition. The rifling is somewhat worn and the walls are displaying some cleaning (?) marks/scratches. There is no rust in the bore. The action works fine.
