Do you know anything about this oddball wheelgun?
Ian over at Forgotten Weapons takes a look at an odd European revolver that just screams steampunk.
“With no markings or provenance at all, the origins of this revolver are a mystery. Its features all point to the 1880s or 1890s, and someone clearly spent a lot of time working on it – but we don’t know who. What makes it interesting is the very unusual operating mechanism. It is similar to a ‘zig-zag’ system like the 1878 Mauser or Webley-Fosbery, but with angled splines on the cylinder instead of grooves.”
Not my area of expertise – At the range (underground and poor light is my excuse) I had a great talent of shooting the clothes pegs that held the targets to pieces, not the targets themselves, with both rifles from the club, and my mate’s 1917 Luger, with a kick like of a hungover Irish donkey.
