Lemat Revolver

Description

My stageprop Lemat. Not the nicest, but still I like it. Wish I had enough money for the Dixie Arms black powder version (just found out about it today, but it costs over $650)

LeMat is a rather interesting bit of hardeware. (9) .44 cal shots in the cylinder that fire down a rifled octagonal barrel (7 grooves.) Beneath that is a 20 gauge smoothbore barrel. Also, its a serios brick, weighing in at like 4 pounds fully loaded.
In case you are wondering, the rod on the left side of the barrel is for taping the bullet back against the powder.

Needless to say, I like it and hope someday to own a firing one. Anyone care to donate to the "Get a thylacine a LeMat" charity fund?

I saw a documentary recently about "Guns Of The Civil War" and I THINK this was the gun I saw that they said was like having a pistol and a 10-gauge shotgun in the same hand.

And today they are worth 50 grand in good condition.

A beautiful firearm.
