Colt's revolvers had a rotating cylinder that could be loaded with several rounds and fired quickly by cocking and releasing the hammer or, in later models, by simply pulling the trigger. Early Colt firearms used percussion ignition and had to be loaded with powder, bullets, and ignition caps in separate operations. After 1870, Colt models were produced for self-contained cartridges that are much like modern pistol ammunition.First manufactured by Colt's factory in Peterson, New Jersey (1836-42), from 1847, the revolvers were made at a much larger plant in Hartford, Connecticut. A special workshop at the Hartford factory employed highly skilled decorators and artisans, many of German origin. Their ornamental motifs, still popular in American Percussion Pistol with Case.

Transition Model Lever Action Musket ca. 1876 Manufactured by Evans Repeating Rifle Company This musket is one of the renowned German-American engraver Louis Daniel Nimschkes most impressive works and a rare decorated example of a firearm manufactured by the Evans Repeating Rifle Co. of Mechanic Falls, Maine. Made around 1876, it features as its central motif a winged, serpent-tailed snarling wolf—possibly the demon Marchosias—holding a bullet-riddled target. Though the significance of this motif remains unclear, the gun may have been made for exhibition or decorated for the New York firm Merwin, Hulbert & Co., the Evans Repeating Rifle Co.s general agent, which presented Evans rifles to officials from Chile, Peru, Uruguay, Venezuela, Costa Rica, Honduras and Brazil in the late 1870s on behalf of the Evans company.
