Restoration of a 1860 ( Napoleon III era ) Lefaucheux revolver. We have found this gun while magnet fishing in South of France.

Judging by its condition, it has been in the water for decades.
The gun was damaged but we decided to preserve it by removing the rust, making it functionnal and protecting the metal for a display.

Judging by its condition we decided not to contact the police.

This video is only a restoration of an historical object and in no way about the apology of weapons.
