Quote, Lead section
The Lefaucheux M1858 was a French military revolver developed for the navy, chambered for the 12 mm pinfire cartridge, and based on a design by Casimir Lefaucheux and his son, Eugene (also a gun designer), it holds the distinction of being the first revolver using metallic cartridges to be adopted by any armed service.
