This "From the Vault" video from Brownells showcases a rare Winchester Repeating Arms prototype revolver, one of only four ever built between 1876-79. Presented by firearm history experts Keith Ford and Steve Ostrem at Rock Island Auction Company, this single-action revolver is chambered in .44-40 Winchester and features a unique swing-out cylinder that opens to the right. Its design shows significant influence from contemporary Smith & Wesson revolvers, with strong front and rear locking points. The gun, sometimes referred to as the 1876 Centennial or Wetmore-Wood revolver after its designers, was potentially developed for a U.S. Navy contract or as a response to Colt's lever-action rifle.
This video is a continuation of a series focusing on a 19th-century Colt Frontier Six Shooter revolver. It serves as an encore, suggesting a previous video also featured this firearm. The description highlights the historical nature of the revolver and directs viewers to other Hickok45 channels for additional content, including clips and discussion segments.
