Accessories

Display cases: like Colt Firearms FAUL offered selected pistols in display cases. Different grades were available including elaborate wooden presentation cases with two locks. They could be had for single pistols with accessories as well as for stocked revolvers. Picture shows cased Cavalry

Model 1^st variation with matching shoulder stock and accessories.

Shoulder stocks were standard with the 4-screw frame Cavalry Model 1^st and 3^rd variation. They were numbered to the gun on the butt metal

S/N on butt plate, 1st variation		and the bottom tang. Some were marked MADE IN BELGIUM on the left side. Only specimens with yoke and butt plate made of brass are known. We We do not know if FAUL
S/N on butt plate, 3^rd variation		ever offered stocks for the 3-screw models since no specimen has surfaced which can be traced back to the Belgian factory.

Powder flasks: at the request of demanding customers FAUL added high quality powder flasks made by famous Dixon & Sons in England (see catalog) to their revolvers. They are marked COLTS PATENT like the original.

Bullet moulds with 2 cavities for a round and a conical ball could also be had. Regular finish was blued steel but moulds made of brass were available at request. Most were marked MADE IN BELGIUM.

Extra cylinder were offered for regular NMAs of the rebated plain cylinder variation by German and US dealers. This extra cylinder sported the proprietary Centaure naval scene engraving. Although these cylinders were listed in the catalogs as “stock” items they were always in short supply. These extra cylinders had their own serials on the breech side, i. e. they were not numbered to the pistol.

		Vent picks and nipple wrenches were found in cased sets provided by the factory. They are unmarked. It is not possible to trace them back to FAUL. However one type of nipple wrenches observed was made of much harder steel then Italian wrenches. The one on the left is assumed to be of Belgian origin. Oil bottles marked Sheffield England are known from cased sets. Few original cartons or handling instructions have survived. They were not numbered to the gun but a few dealers added stickers with the gun’s serials to the cartons. Cartons with blue (image RPRCA) and black lids are observed (below).
