A "Long Type" Glisenti pin-fire revolver dating: about 1870 provenance: Kingdom of Italy, Cylindrical, rifled, 11 mm cal. barrel, with octagonal breech, provided with foresight and with "SD" mark. Visible rifling; some encrustment inside which need cleaning. Six-shot cylinder. Frame marked "ACCAJO FUSO", with the stamps "GG" and "G. GLISENTI / BRESCIA". Working mechanism (with slight play in rotation on the cylinder block when the hammer is cocked). Single-action. Smooth wooden grip scales. Butt-plate faces with fuller, with lanyard ring. Glisenti also produced this very successful Lefaucheux model under a direct licence from the Franco-Belgian company, and enabled the French manufacturer to meet the Italian army’s growing requirements. See "Les Revolvers à Broche" by J.P. Bastié, p. 49. For similar items, see "Pistole Militari Italiane" by L. Salvatici.
