►►►  If made in Great Britain or Belgium the revolver carries mandatory Birmingham, London or Liège proof stamps. Unlike British revolvers using one-part-frames this has a two-part-frame camouflaged with the zigzag-line, typical for German produced revolvers, please see "pinfire revolvers" and "SAUER".
Somebody suggested Russian made, but then the inscription is in Cyrillic.

Imperial Patent Revolver on bridge and master stamp S under barrel, percussion revolver influenced by the British 1851 patent for double action only (in 1855 the patent issued for double- and single action) The frame is built the German way in two pieces and the connection "covered" with zigzag-lines, see  bottom in front of cylinder and where the breech connects with the bridge over the cylinder. Uncommon is the trigger protection, and it is the first time my friends and I saw this, and as far as I know, it is not mentioned in the literature. The mighty revolver has caliber .45, a 7⅛" octagonal barrel with dovetail front sight. Almost 100% bright blue, crisp checkered grips and  in excellent condition. The wooden case contains all accessories including a Braun & Bloem, Düsseldorf, marked box for caps.
Probably unique set.     Sold
