![]() I've been looking around for any images of these things. They were a 19th century multi-revolver that used 8 six-shot cylinders on a revolving carriage. A sort of cylinder-inside-cylinder arrangement. Empty one cylinder, spin the next in. Used a foregrip, essentially a 19th century submachinegun equivalent.
I'm especially curious if any ever got made that were cartridge loading, my current impression is they were all percussion based though.

![]() Do you have any idea of manufacturer? Were they American made?
And you are sure it is not a rampart gun? |

![]() There is a reference to Enouy, 48 Shooter, from the August 1993 issue of American Rifleman. I'm pretty sure this is it but I do not have that issue. I think it was designed by a Joseph Enouy of London in the mid 19th century. I believe some went on trips into Africa but I'm not certain.

![]() I believe i have to references where you could find pictures
Pistols of the World by Blair, Viking press 1968, photo 634. or Frederick Wilson, Das große illustrierte Buch der Pistolen, Optimum, page 130, ISBN 0-600-37218-9 It seems like there were at least to version one with seven cylinders á 6-shot each, thus 42-rounds & one 48-shooter both manufactured around 1855. |
