(A) ENGRAVED VICTOR COLETTE GRAVITY REPEATING PISTOL. Based on rocket ball type self contained ammunition, which was developed almost simultaneously in Europe as in the States. Victor Colette produced these 20-shot repeating pistols using the new ammunition which is fed into the chamber using gravity from an over barrel magazine. Tapered octagon barrel marked "VC622" on the underside. Foliate scroll engraved frame. The walnut grip is fluted with scalloped panels at the top and a faceted steel pommel cap. CONDITION: Fair. Overall gray patina with evidence of cleaned oxidation, especially on the frame. Grips show impressions throughout. Action requires attention and does not cycled without assistance. The fine rifling shows some abrasion and frosting. A scarce, early repeating pistol from the dawn of the self contained cartridge.Name Value Barrel Length 9" Caliber/Bore 10mm FFL Status Antique Manufacturer Victor Colette Model Gravity Pistol Serial Number VC622, Name, Value, Barrel Length, 9", Caliber/Bore, 10mm, FFL Status, Antique, Manufacturer, Victor Colette, Model, Gravity Pistol, Serial Number, VC622
