This video delves into the history and technical aspects of the Danish 1865/97 Pinfire Conversion Revolver. Initially adopted in 1865 as a pinfire model when percussion firearms were still prevalent, this 6-shot solid-frame revolver served for decades. In 1897, it underwent a significant conversion to fire modern centerfire ammunition. The description highlights unusual features like a manual safety and the unique metal-jacketed, wood-cored centerfire projectile used, which was also employed in Schouboe automatic pistols. The converted revolvers remained in service until the end of World War II.
