This video provides an in-depth look at the Savage & North "Figure 8" Revolver, designed by Henry North and produced between 1856 and 1859. Approximately 450 units were manufactured before the company reorganized as Savage Revolving Fire Arms Company and introduced the more successful Savage Navy revolver. The "Figure 8" features a unique rapid-fire action and a cylinder that cams forward to seal against the barrel. Key specifications include a six-shot cylinder, .36 caliber, a 7 1/8 inch barrel, and a weight of 3 pounds 6 ounces. The description also links to the Savage Navy revolver for comparison.
