Chamelot Delvigne
Here’s a
Chamelot-Delvigne revolver called “left-handed”, already not very common, which
is also distinguished by the right side tenon and the notch of sight a little

in the second half of the 19th century. More a curiosity than a great
efficiency.....

“left-handed” will surprise me for a long time to come: I am right-handed, but I
find that this so-called “left-handed” revolver is much more logical (for a
right-handed) than almost ALL other revolvers (or at least a large majority),
since the loading of the cartridges and the ejection of the cartridges are
possible by holding of the cartridges while holding of the cartridges. right
