The Victorian revolvers fit for a revolutionary, with firearms and weaponry expert Jonathan Ferguson

Jonathan finds himself at home with a pair of Victorian British pistols, one percussion and the other converted to fire cartridges. The Daw, who was in fact only the marketer and vendor of the weapons, is a superb example of period craftmanship but failed to capture enough traction to make it a major commercial success.
