Confederate records suggest that 1,000-1,200 Lefaucheux's were purchased. Of these, 12,000 were of the Lefaucheux design. Although 90 percent of the revolvers supplied were American made by Colt, Remington and Starr there were still 14,000 pistols purchased in Europe. Ordnance records show that 359,000 revolvers were purchased in this country. What sets this weapon apart from most of the other revolvers issued was that it was a pin-fire model. One of the more irregular weapons that were purchased by both the Union and Confederate Armies during the Civil War was the Lefaucheux Revolver. As a result, one can amass a relatively large collection of various models. However, there was really no official side arm.
The most popular revolver during the Civil War by both sides was without a doubt the Colt Army and Navy models.

An early Norwegian manual about how to manufacture pinfire cartridges indicates that they followed the French technical specifications for these.(Originally Published in the Civil War Courier) Norway also manufactured additional ball and blank load pinfire cartridges at their state-owned cartridge factories. The box contains 18 cartridges which was enough to reload the revolver 3 times. The exact same cartridges were sold elsewhere as 12mm. Norway designated the revolver as 11mm which is why SFM marked the box as 11mm.
These modified revolvers were designated as the M/64/98 and is what is pictured here. In 1898 some of these revolvers which were still in service were modified to add the piece of metal on top to stiffen the frame. Norway designated these revolvers as the Model M/1864. In 1859 the Norwegian Navy ordered a handful of Lefaucheux Model 1854s for testing and then in 1864 purchased 1500 Lefaucheux model 1854 revolvers which were split amongst the Norwegian Army and Navy. This is an example of one of the scarce pinfire boxes made by Société Française des Munitions for the Norwegian military.
