Also try VTI gunparts they seem to carry alot of period gunparts. I have bought pats for several revolvers from them.

Good Luck. Pinfire revolvers come in all sorts of slightly different models. I have been looking for parts for mine for years. I have arrived at the conclusion that the only way I am going to get what I want is to buy one just like it and use the parts. Then I will still have one that needs parts.

Hallo!

I would agree with Herr Jim here...

With all of the pin fire revolvers floating around the World, from a ton of makers, with great variety of types and models, and with no real effort I am aware of anyone trying to catalog the mess... it is like-

Saying I have a revolver, send me some parts.

I had a friend who had one, and after 15 years of so of searching and hitting gun shows to rummage through parts boxes, finally bit the bullet and found a gunsmith who was willing and able to hand make the needed missing parts.
And then did the same for an 1870's Webley RIC revolver.

Good luck!

Thanks for all the good info. I found a collector of Pinfires from the Netherlands. He find parts here and there, but says sometimes ends up making his own parts from scratch, see link"

No he gave me Dixie Gunworks site and he said lots of times he makes his own parts from scratch. It would be just luck if you found exactly what your looking for.

Nice. I just picked up a nice, tight 12mm Belgian pinfire at the Richmond CW show last month. I plan to occasionally carry it at events when I get a holster made for it. I don't think I will try to load blanks for it though, as the percussion cap sits inside the casing and might go downrange when fired. Just for the "show and tell" factor...
