Lefaucheux Pinfire Shotgun Shell Collection - 28 to 4 Gauge

Own a complete chapter of firearms history. This collection features a full set of historically accurate 1:1 scale models of Lefaucheux pinfire shotgun shells, spanning the major gauges from the massive 10 bore to the smaller 28 gauge.

These self-contained metallic cartridges, patented in the 1830s, revolutionized hunting and sport shooting. By integrating the primer, powder, wad, and shot into a single, durable brass case, they ended the era of unreliable paper cartridges and slow muzzle-loading. This collection allows you to display the evolution and variety of this groundbreaking technology.

Each shell is modeled directly from historical specifications and includes a designated port on the side. To complete each model with its iconic firing pin, simply trim a 10mm length  of standard 1.75mm filament (15 mm for cal. 4) and glue it into place.

The Complete Set Includes:

• 4 Gauge
