This entry details the Danish 1865/97 revolver, a significant piece of firearm evolution. Originally a pinfire model, it was expertly converted to centerfire in 1897 by Georg Christensen at Kronborg Gevaerfabrik. The conversion involved modifying the hammer and breech plate, and it utilized a unique 11.45mm centerfire cartridge with a wooden-cored, nickel-plated bullet. These revolvers served the Danish military for an exceptionally long period, remaining in service until the end of World War II.
