LeMat Revolver

[Relic shooter]

I have just now discovered this thread and would like to establish contact with other Lemat owners.

My gun (Serial #1937) is an original 2nd Model manufactured in Paris in early 1864. Documentation exists showing delivery (by blockade runner) to the Port of Wilmington, NC May-July 1864 and subsequent issue to 6th Texas Cavalry.

Apologies for no pics but I am only semi computer literate and don't have the first clue how to post pictures...

Ted thats one very rare revolver that most don't have the luck to own !!

Would be nice if replica manufacturers acquired one to correct action issues in repro LeMats.
I'm almost as old as your revolver but maybe the following tips will help us see photos of your Lemat !

Did anyone ever get the timing issue resolved on the Pietta LeMat?
