Støckel:
Pierre Jules Noël, Paris, received 1865 patent for revolver with flat cylinder
Noël Patent revolver, also called ROTOVOLVER, serial # 123,
The unusual model is operated by pulling the folding trigger double-action only which raises and drops a side-hammer on the fulminate cartridge and also revolves the ten-shot turret.

Noël" and on the right side with the maker's name "J. F. Gouery Ganat & Co. Paris". The frame is kept in the white as common at the time and is fully scroll engraved and fitted with two-piece carved walnut grips. The caliber is approximately 7.5mm = .30. Very fine condition and working order. $5,250.
