All about early 19th century breech-loading firearms!
These large 4-gauge #pinfire #shotshells were used in punt #guns to shoot multiple birds in a single shot, and they make the other ones look tiny in comparison.
The #Lefaucheux model 1859 #carbine was a small carbine Eugène Lefaucheux made with hopes to gain #military acceptance. It is a very simple design with few moving parts. It only weighs 4.5 pounds and has an overall length of 3 feet 4 inches.
A couple of the very earliest #pinfire #shotshells ever, shown with an early example of a double barrel pinfire #shotgun made by Casimir #Lefaucheux around 1840. I love these early examples!
