Description
This French 12mm Pinfire Revolver by Chamelot & Delvigne is probably the most well-made pinfire gun I have ever held. It feels amazingly sturdy. The action and all mechanical functions are super crisp and work perfectly. It follows their May 5, 1864 patent and is known as their “Model 8” It is missing the extractor rod on the side.
