Is there an 1842 Percussion revolver
Was rewatching the cinematic classic Death Wish and when at the Gun Club, Bronson is handed what is called an "1842 percussion revolver"... Now it did not look like a Patterson.. So I ask what 1842 percussion revolvers were out there???

That would probably be a Colt Paterson that was made by the Patent Arms Company in Paterson, NJ between 1836 - 1842.
