Good day,
Please read description carefully and check all images!
This is the 11mm French (455 Webley?) Antique status St.Etienne project revolver.
I bought it as a project and later realized that I have no time or skills to finish it myself, so selling it again. The advancement claws on the cylinder must be re-cut. The metal was added on top of the old damaged claws, hopefully enough for a new cut (however, I cannot guarantee that everything will be as I assumed). Ideally, it should take a rotary tool, knowledge and time to make it work again. The center hole on the back of the cylinder must be opened up as well. Also please notice some burr on the cylinder, in different spots, as shown in the picures.
Everything else works: Double-Single action, cocking. Bore is very good and shiny for an antique. Blueing has some wear, but overall is good. Might have been reblued at some point. FRT report is included.
Price is $1500 shipped with the $100 insurance. More insurance is on buyer. The only trade I'd consider, is a Chinese SKS in decent condition plus cash, from an established trader. Ideally, in jungle stock.
Thank you for your attention.
