Jackson's Revolver

A friend of mine, Chris Curtis, wrote a comprehensive book on the Lafraucheux. I recommend the book for anyone who collects or wants to acquire a pinfire.

I also have a couple extra copies of the first and only edition of his first book available too. They are getting pretty hard to find:

That is, without a doubt, the ugliest handgun I've ever seen.

On the other hand, I had no idea that the use of the pinfire was so prevalent. Thanks for the thread. Special thanks to Aaron for contibuting so profusely.

Ugly is in the eyes of the beholder, ole.
