Description
This is a complete box of ten 15mm short pinfire cartridges labeled “Lefaucheux Revolver Patronen”, likely intended for use in larger-frame pinfire howdah pistols chambered for the shorter pistol variant. While the exact manufacturer remains unconfirmed, the crisp label and clean presentation suggest mid-to-late 19th century continental European production, likely German or Austrian.
These large-caliber pinfire cartridges have become increasingly difficult to source—even as singles—making a full, unopened box like this a particularly desirable find for cartridge collectors and Lefaucheux enthusiasts alike.
