- Lot Description
.42 caliber nine-shot, .645 smooth bore, 7.5" The number "5" is the barrel grouping on the back of the cylinder and on the frame. Marked on the top of the barrel. Stamped "5" on the back of the cylinder, the front of the recoil shield, and the rear of the barrel lug. The shotgun barrel is marked 16.6 or .66 caliber, or roughly 14 gauge. The right side of the fore-strap is stamped with a "JH." Eric wrote in his description this was believed to be John Heuse of New Orleans. There are no foreign proof marks on any part of this pistol. The absence of any proof marks leads one to believe this one was made in America. It maybe one of the first pistols sold to the Confederacy. One other interesting fact about this pistol is that it has a screw through the bottom of the barrel to lock it in place against the frame.
Provenance: Alan S. Kelley, Serpette Collection sold at James D Julia in 1997.
All metal is very sharp and crisp. It has been cleaned lightly, leaving it with a gunmetal gray look. Grips are good but the checkering on the grips has been re-done. Backstrap and trigger guard have a nice patina. A very rare variation of the 1859 LeMat.Condition
