REPLICA PERCUSSION REVOLVER COLLECTORS BLOG

The Replica Percussion Revolver Collectors Blog is a collection of articles that provides historical information on the replica manufacturing industry, the importers who imported or currently import replica revolvers into the United States, the replica revolvers themselves and other valuable historical information. Much of this information is from the research of Dr. Jim Davis on the history of reproduction revolvers.  His notes have been compiled into writings for the replica revolver collectors to aid in researching their revolver collections.

While engaging in research in the historical use of wads in percussion revolvers we find the most detailed use of wads in John Deane's "Deane’s Manual of the History and Science of Fire-arms" published in 1858. He is quite definitive in his explanation of using wads in both revolvers and shotguns and in regards to the use of felt wads, and substituting cork instead of felt.
