Freeman pistol.

Came across this whilst browsing, a very nice cased Freeman.

Here is another photo which shows that the Freeman probably didn't suffer from cap fragments falling into the mechanism.

Anyone got one?

Never handled one of these odd revolvers, looks like a knock-off of a 58 Remington & a Rogers & Spenser.

Actually the Rogers and Spencer is based on the Freeman, R&S bought the Freeman patent rights.
Here’s an even nicer one.

and a shot of one with the cylinder removed.

I’d really like to play with one.

Just noticed that the screws in the first one shown go in from the opposite side, odd.

Nice!

Must be a bugger to get those caps on, the nipples look quite recessed into the cylinder and the small loading port would be difficult with large fingers.

Would be fun to spend a day at the range with a Freeman & see how it compares with the Remington & R & S revolvers..
