Overview
Overview
The 6.35 mm and 6.5 Velodog varieties had 20 chambers, while the 7.65 mm variant had 16 chambers. For reloading they broke open along a hinge on the top-rear of the frame, like the Spirlet revolver. They were manufactured from 1911 to 1928 and were marketed under a variety of names that were supposed to denote power and masculinity. Names such as "Wild West", "Redoubtable", or even "Machine-gun HDH" were used for promotional purposes. The arrangement itself was not new, having been tried in the Lefaucheux 20-round double-barreled, pinfire revolver of 1862. The Ludovici revolver is a derivative.
