Adams/Tranter
The system of rod (very special) is a patent of Tranter.
The pin revolver is PROBABLY an ADAMS !
It seems that the manufacturer of this weapon was useful himself of various elements in other arms manufacturers to manufacture this weapon.
I then however to affirm that it is about an ADAMS considering the weapon does not carry any marking attesting it.
It is not a LEFAUCHEUX either.
