SIZE: 2 7/8” NOTES: Several variations of these pocket revolvers were made by William Uhlinger of Philadelphia during the Civil War from 1861-1865. However, Smith & Wesson owned the patent, causing Uhlinger to produce these pocket revolvers under several different names to avoid patent infringement.
