This video examines the Lucius Pond .32 Rimfire Revolver, a firearm notable for its involvement in a patent dispute with Smith & Wesson. The description details Pond's original hinged-frame design, its infringement on Rollin White's bored-through cylinder patent, and the subsequent forced turnover of over 4,000 units to S&W. These confiscated revolvers were marked 'Manufactured for Smith & Wesson' and resold. The video also briefly touches on Pond's later, less successful attempt at an alternative design using removable chambers to circumvent the patent.
