This cased Galand is a French cartridge revolver from around 1870, serial number 17195, listed under SKU AH8769 as an antique handgun in used condition. The barrel measures 4 7/8 inches. The gun was restored at some point and now presents as near new; the nickel finish is excellent and is itself old, with the seller's best estimate placing that refinish in the 1950s. The grips have been re-checkered and are described as perfect, though slightly undersized against the frame.

Galand revolvers were among the early cartridge designs, which is what makes a cased example interesting to a New Jersey collector rather than a shooter. The chambering is not clearly listed, so confirm the cartridge with your dealer before buying any ammunition. As a handgun it still goes through the New Jersey permit process, with one handgun purchase allowed per 30 days unless you hold an exemption, so plan the paperwork before the case changes hands.
