Swedish Model 1871 Military Single Action Cartridge Revolver, by Auguste Francotte, #4341, 11mm CF cal., 5.75'' round barrel marked ''Francotte a Li‚ge'' on top, large integral blade front sight and long rear sighting groove on top strap of frame, plain round 6-shot cylinder, long checkered hardwood two-piece grips, lanyard ring at butt. Unit marking ''F.4. No. 163'' is stamped vertically on right frame ahead of juncture with grip; ''L / 123 No. (illegible)'' appears perpendicular to that. Condition is good with an overall smooth gunmetal gray color with perhaps some streaky blue on grip strap and triggerguard. Grips are very good showing clear checkering and most of what is likely a later coat of varnish. All visible serial numbers match. Action is crisp; cylinder locks up at full-cock but not when hammer is down; bore appears clean with distinct rifling. Est.: $450-$750. (Antique)
