This interesting turret revolver has some mechanical resemblance to the later Protector palm pistols and uses a 10-round turret to hold the ammunition and a door for removing the turret for reloading. It was manufactured around the 1860s by J.F. Gouery Canat & Cie of Paris. The right side of the barrel rib has the "SYSTEME A NOEL/ BTE SGDG" marking, and the left side has "J.I. GOUERY CANAT & CIE/ PARIS." "163" is on the inside of the door, the trigger, and butt. There is a tall spire style front sight and a integral notch rear sight. It has a variety of etched designs on most of the surfaces. The grips have broad diamond checkering and floral carving.

Very good with mostly silver-gray patina, distinct etching, and mild overall wear. The grips are also fine and have distinct checkering and carving and minor wear. The action occasionally gets out of time but mostly functions fine.
