This system was designed by Henry (Heinrich) Genhart of Liege who patented this design in the 1850s. Only a small number of handguns and long guns of this pattern were manufactured. His English patent from 1856 notes "There is a lever handle connected to the barrel, for pushing the barrel outward at each discharge, and for again inserting the breech end into another chamber in the revolving cartridge holder, which is caused to rotate upon its axis, so as to present another charge in a line with the bore in the barrel, after the method practised with ordinary revolvers." The vertically acting firing pin is also cocked by working the lever. The rifled barrel has a dovetailed blade front sight, dovetailed two-leaf rear sight, and "1125" on the left at the breech. The turret has the chambers numbered from 1 to 10 on top, Liege proofs on the side, and "1125" on the underside. The furniture is blued steel. The forend tip is dark horn. The stock has checkering at the breech and wrist.
