What patent is this Casimir Lefaucheux pistol?
And what is the connection with Béringer pistols that look so similar?

Beringer was one of the gunsmiths how signed a production licence with Casimir in 1832.
I don’t see him listed in Lautissier’s book?
Also, I guess this is closest to the mousqueton model that he presented to the Société d’Encouragement pour l’Industrie Nationale in 1835.
Perhaps I made a mistake , will have a look
Hi
1833 patent (march 1833) with addition ( pinfire cartridge in 1835).
Lefaucheux often made the key in front and Beringer behind.That’s why we usualy say " Lefaucheux key" and “Beringer key”. It’s not really good. I have ever seen a lefaucheux key like that.
You’re right, he is not in the list …
