30-shot Pinfire Revolver

Nocturno

Squire
Not misspelled. 30
Both appear to be prototypes.

The first, based on the Lefaucheux model, is a double action cal. 7 mm pinfire,
made during  the 1860's, made in France, no serial #,
maker's name or proof stamps.
As you can see, there's 20 chambers in the outer ring, 10 in the inner ring

The second one is by far much more complicated.
This one is a single action .22 caliber, single-action revolver circa 1860-1870,
probably French showing no proof stamps or other markings

Ugly thing  :razz:
 
Indeed, same frame, etc,
however, this one (30-shot) seems to take ALL space available in cylinder,
check the 20-shot one for a difference:

I'm modeling this exact gun, but much higher detail than 1866 guns and for a different project (Debauchery Half-Life 2 mod)
 
and you easily can see the thin chamber walls and the short cylinder,
i would say weighs something more than a regular 12 mm  :roll:

"Insane weaponry. This is madness!" SO WHAT! they say that madness is close to "logic"!

from possibly circa 1830 to circa 1890 it is the most interesting history of multi barreled firearms

multi barreled firearms were handy at that era before moving to the machine guns
