Product
A double action revolver with many interesting features, the Jacob Shaw gun has a cylinder mounted above the barrel, an extendable tube sight through the center of the cylinder, an automatic set trigger, and a concealed hammer, which strikes the bottom chamber in the cylinder. The rotating and locking mechanism operates on the front of the cylinder instead of the rear, allowing the construction of a very compact small revolver. The only specimen known bears serial number one and is marked JACOB SHAW, JR. on the left side of the frame.
