EXTREMELY RARE VERY PISTOL BY DYER AND ROBSON MODEL 1882
This is a rare Dyer & Robson model 1882 brass pistol. They were originally manufactured in 1882 for the US Navy with an estimated production of just 100 ever made. The model 1882 pattern was also the first very pistol known to have been used by the British. This most unusual pistol has a barrel that can swivel 360 degrees. The idea being that a cartridge can be inserted at either end, fired, barrel swiveled, and then a new round loaded from the other end, extracting the first spent cartridge. This example is numbered 25. A very unique and rare pistol.
