This video from the Royal Armouries features Curatorial Assistant Christian Wellard exploring a collection of early percussion revolvers that belonged to King Ferdinand II of Sicily. Unlike modern revolvers tracing their lineage to Colt's 1840s designs, these pieces represent an earlier stage of revolver development. The video delves into the description of the revolvers, their accompanying items, historical context concerning Ferdinand II, specific details of their construction, and the Le Page manufacturer. It also discusses their historical usage and explains why these particular arms were chosen for the 'Up In Arms' series.
