A cartridge for the Lefaucheux revolver. This “short” pinfire cartridge has a pointy lead bullet seated into a copper case with a stout pin protruding from the bottom edge. This features the simple headstamp, “G”.  Manufactured by S.A. Gevelot in Paris.

Pinfire cartridges were another example of a self-contained cartridge. The “pin” rests in a percussion cap seated in the bottom of the case.  When struck by the pistol hammer, the pin exploded the cap igniting the powder charge. Pinfire cartridges were made in 2mm (blanks for watch fob pistols), 5mm, 7mm, 9mm, 12mm, 15mm, and for various gauge shotguns. These were primarily made in Europe for the Lefaucheux revolver and were measured in millimeters.  [jet] [ph:jet]
