The Pepperbox revolvers were the most popular and probably most effective self defence weapons until the introduction of the modern revolver designs. Probably the best and most elegant system was developed in Europe at the end of the 1830s by Guillaume and Gilles Mariette. They worked in Cherrat, Liege, Belgium. This 4-shot Pepperbox was made in their worksop. History, modern time shooting, performance.
