Original Belgian Highly Engraved 8mm Centerfire Double Action Revolver by MEYERS serial 5047 - circa 1865 Category_Feed Block Assembly As Commonwealth troops they wereOriginal item. Only One Available. This is a very nice Belgian 8mm centerfire cartridge revolver, made very much in the style of the earlier French Belgian pinfire revolvers. These designs already called for a top strap, and required minimal changes to be suitable for rimfire and centerfire cartridge ammunition. We are fairly certain this example is in centerfire, but the firing pin is extremely larger for an 8mm cartridge, so it may be for neither.
