This video examines the patent model of the Mauser "Zigzag" revolver, a significant early handgun design from the Mauser brothers. It highlights the unique hinged-frame construction and, most notably, its chambering for the original, rare Mauser revolver cartridge – a scaled-down, bottlenecked version of the 11mm Mauser rifle round. The presenter contrasts this with the later production models, which used a straight-wall cartridge after military preference changed. The video also showcases an example of the rare cartridge itself and thanks the Liege Arms Museum and the Paul Mauser Archive for their assistance.
