Belgian Pinfire Revolver Restoration

Pinfire was an early self contained metallic cartridge, invented in the 1830's. It gained popularity in the 1850's before being superseded by rimfire and centerfire cartridges beginning in the 1870's.

I found this Belgian made copy of a French Lefaucheux revolver for very cheap at a gun show.
Follow along as I discuss it's history and markings (or lack thereof), as well as convert the red rust to bluing.
