This video showcases a beautifully ornate, gold-inlaid percussion revolver made by Salvatore Mazza of Naples, likely in the 1820s. It's an example of a manually operated revolver, a precursor to Colt's mechanically linked designs. The description highlights its unique mechanism where the cylinder is manually rotated after being pulled back against a spring. A shield protects the chambers, and the cylinder mouth is chamfered to improve gas sealing.
