It was one of the 160 contract revolvers built for the English Government, but not delivered. They were sold out of inventory to meet the demand for large caliber revolvers at the beginning of WW1. If you wish some photos of the revolver, with the help of my wife I can probably send some off to you. Best regards, JM
