While other posters are busy assembling their photos of Victorian revolvers, here's a couple more of my earlier ones to pass the time:

80-bore percussion revolver by Webb of Salisbury, strange grip-angle and shape but a very high-grade handgun. Fitted with Kerr's patent rammer, the smoothest rammer of them all IMHO, when made to the proper tolerances as this one is. Overall a marvellous piece!

Birmingham percussion 'pepperbox', also about 80-bore, incorrectly refinished by some previous owner but internals are near-perfect so it's a good candidate for 'proper' restoration in the near future.

Ben:
Sounds like you might also enjoy viewing a few photos of my Webley No.2 .450 marked "The British Bulldog" on the top-strap. I waited a long time for that little revolver, passing-up heaps of Belgian wannabes along the way. Maybe this weekend, if I get time.
