One of the very first serial-manufactured revolver designs, these guns were made between 1819 and 1824 and saw limited use by the British Navy. It also served to inspire a young Samuel Colt to later create the Paterson revolver.
It fired using a single action mechanism and required the user to have the hammer on half-cock to manually pull the cylinder backward into a shielded recess before rotating it one chamber.

Nock pepperbox musket

Manufactured by Henry Nock’s company in London c.~1800 - no serial number.
.44 ball, smoothbore manually indexed six-barrel cluster, self-priming flintlock.
A considerable upgrade on his 1779 seven-barreled volley gun, Nocks uses the revolving technology of American gunsmith Artemus Wheeler and adds to it a self-priming mechanism of his own design, which would later be the basis of Elisha Collier’s famous designs. This firearm would allow its user to fire a shot, lock the barrel cluster into its next position, cock the hammer, lower the frizzen and take another shot, up to six times in a row. It was a considerably faster rate of fire than any musket at the time.
