Description
This is an early model 7mm pinfire revolver manufactured in Liège, Belgium by Servais Joseph Celestin Mariette, the son of the well known gun maker, Guillaume Mariette.
This single-action revolver design had a screw at the bottom of the frame which when unscrewed allowed the front of the frame and barrel to slide off. You could then slide out the cylinder, load the cartridges, stick everything back on and re-screw the screw back on to tighten it back up. You can see this in action in the following video.
