Very interresting guns. Thank you for taking the time to tell us about them. But I noticed that the Colt design was introduced as the first effective repeater design based on a revolving cluster of chambers. To my knowledge, the design patented by Peder Rasmussen in 1832 was quite similar to the design Samuel Colt patended in 1935. Rasmussen developed this system for long guns, and tried to sell them to the military, but he had no success with sales.
While I know nothing of Rasmussen, revolving long arms have been around since the matchlock era. I wouldn't doubt at all that there were advanced designs that fell by the way side due to various reasons.
While there are examples of firearms with revolving cylinders at least back to the 16th century, generally they all had to have their cylinders manually rotated in between each trigger pull. The Rasmussen design was almost identical to Colt's design in that each cocking of the hammer rotated the cylinder one notch. Some historians believe Colt copied Rasmussen's design, but there is no evidence that Colt knew about Rasmussen's design. Any connection between the two seems to have been lost in the mist of time.
I love it that people have an appreciation for old firearms
Wonderful channel. I'm thoroughly enjoying the videos. Keep up the great job!!

This takes forever to load. Then at 3:43 it locks up. Wonderful.
Some of those revolving rifles were really interesting.
Is there a place you can go to look up reference sketches of them?
The Taurus Circuit Judge is a nice gun.
For the Colt Revolving Rifle, do you know some of the ballistic information? Muzzle velocity or effective range?
@PLxFTW Taurus Circuit judge. New revolving rifle .
@RevolverLover101 I see what you're saying, but I think the lighting is just weird
