In July 1861 on behalf of US Secretary of War Simon Cameron, New York State Militia Colonel George L. Schuyler purchased 10,000 Model 1854 Pinfire Revolvers (@$12.50) and 200,000 rounds of pinfire cartridges ($17.45 per thousand) from Eugene Lefaucheux. In all the US War Department purchased more than 11,800 of the revolvers and over 2 million pinfire cartridges. Most of the cartridges purchased were manufactured in the United States. The French revolver was the fourth most numerous revolver used during the Civil War. Not in working order. Please see photos. No FFL Needed in most States.
