Original item. One of a Kind. This is a very interesting late 19th century revolver, offered in AS FOUND well patinated condition, almost certainly in a barn or out building. Still in working condition, it appears to fire single action only, and has a very interesting “tip up” design, where the lower portion of the trigger guard is a lever for unlocking the action. Turning it to the left moves the hammer back, and then pulling the front portion of the trigger guard forward tips the barrel, cylinder, and upper frame up for reloading. Pulling the front portion of the trigger guard further presents the ejector from the cylinder, extracting the spent cartridges.

There are no markings whatsoever that we can see on the revolver, though given the condition it is possible that any present were worn away. The style is very similar to that of Charles-François Galand (1832 – 1900), who worked in Liège and Paris, producing some revolutionary revolver designs. These were known for often utilizing the trigger guard as a lever to open the action, and the style of the grip and hammer are very reminiscent of his style.

The revolver appears to be in about .45 Caliber or 12mm, and utilizes centerfire cartridges of some type, which we have not been able to identify. It is mostly functional, cycling well for the most part, though it does get hung up at times due to wear in the action. The interesting tip up mechanism is fully functional, though it does have a bit of slop in the mechanics. The revolver looks to have seen long use, and definitely was not well cleaned after use, resulting in oxidation on the exterior, as well as in the bore.

Never having encountered the like before it must be most unusual. Lots of research to be carried out by some dedicated collector. Ready to restore or display as is!
