FN RARE ANTIQUE 20-SHOT WESTERN EUROPEAN REVOLVER

Product Information & Specs

Seller Description For This Firearm

You are likely not going to bump into another one of these in your travels. This curious and commanding revolver, with a 20-shot cylinder, has Liege proofs that tie it to Belgium while others suggest German travels. Chambered in what is believed to be .455 Eley, this revolving hand cannon has a 10-inch barrel and is likely dates to the late 19th or early 20th Century. While other 20-shot revolvers exist, they are almost always much smaller pinfire double-barrel models that bear little resemblance to this piece. An identical offering appeared in Francis Bannerman's famous 1927 catalog of military surplus with the description, "20 Shot Revolver found in old shop in Paris, bore is about 3/8, length, 15 inches, weight is about 6 pounds. Rare piece. Sold to collector." Fast forward another 100 years and this interesting piece, acquired from a New Orleans collector, was said to be a German trench revolver from WWI, rigged to “peek” over the trench and shoot by pulling a string attached to the trigger. Additional shipping expense may be required.

Shopping at Guns.com gives you the backing of a company that is committed to your satisfaction.  And unlike our competitors, it extends beyond the buying process.  We get the FFL from your store – others make you find it, copy it, and fax it.  We have a generous return policy, and handle everything – you don’t have to go back to the store.  And our Rangemasters are here to answer all your questions about our products or process.  We're bringing a level of service to the online gun buying experience that is unheard of.

WE SUPPORT LOCAL GUN STORES

Many online gun sales actually take away from your local community.  Instead of buying a gun that’s on your local store’s shelf, most retailers drop ship it from a warehouse in another state.  At Guns.com, if an FFL is part of our network, we sell THEIR guns first whenever possible.  That way, we’re helping small businesses in your community AND if they have it in stock, you can pick your gun up IMMEDIATELY – it’s how business should be done.


WE KEEP IT SIMPLE
WE KEEP IT SIMPLE

Most everything can be easily bought online these days.  But for some reason, buying a gun online can be complicated.  Most websites are poorly organized, don’t tell you a lot about what you’re buying, and leave you on your own to figure out what you want.  Guns.com is built to be simple – easily organized products, useful descriptions from experts, and support to guide you to the right choice.  Spend your time enjoying the gun you want, not getting frustrated with a complex website that makes gun buying hard.
