When Smith & Wesson was unable to keep up with Civil War-era demands for their revolvers, Rollin White formed a company in 1861 to manufactur these seven-shot single-action revolvers. They were marketed exclusively by Smith & Wesson. When White left the company in 1864, the name was changed to Lowell Arms Co. Approximately 5,000 Pocket Revolvers were produced under the Rollin White name and 5.000 more by Lowell Arms.
