Description: |
| Most of the patents prior to 1836 were lost in the Dec. 1836 fire. Only about 2,000 of the almost 10,000 documents were recovered. Little is known about this patent. There are no patent drawings available. This patent is in the database for reference only.
"This gun is very similar to that of Rogers, and to Wheeler's (see p. 124.) A revolving chamber, containing seven charges, is placed behind the main barrel. Each of the perforations in this revolving piece has its touch hole, and its percussion priming.
The improvement relied on in this machine, consists in the simplicity of its construction, every way adapted to hunting, and for war purposes."
