changed name to Merwin & Simpkins, to Merwin, Taylor & Simpkins and to Merwin,
Hulbert & Co. all in the same year of 1868 In 1861 they advertised in Harper's and Leslie's Weekly "A new cartridge revolver, carrying six bullets (80 to the pound)" at $12. No further specification was made. It is believed that this was the gun made by Daniel Moore. However, this guns were a seven shot and not a six shot revolver. This very likely relationship lasted until January 11, 1862 when Merwin & Bray advertised in the Harper's Weekly In Trow's New York City Directory for 1865 figures this advertisement "PRESCOTT'S CARTRIDGE ROVOLVERS the 8-in. or Navy size, carries a ball weighing 38 to the lb., and the No. .32 or 4-in.
